Multiplex gastrointestinal (GI) testing plays a critical role in the rapid and accurate identification of pathogens responsible for infectious gastroenteritis. Traditional diagnostic methods can be time-consuming and may lack sensitivity, making it challenging to guide timely and appropriate clinical decisions.

This resource sheet from Cepheid outlines the clinical utility and performance of the Xpert® GI Panel, a targeted multiplex PCR solution designed to deliver actionable results in approximately 74 minutes. Discover how by enabling fast pathogen identification, the panel supports earlier intervention, improved patient management, and more efficient laboratory workflows.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

Diagnostic tests include bacterial culture, microscopy, chemistry assays, molecular diagnostics and MALDI-TOF. Tests can be carried out in the laboratory or at the point-of-care.
