摘要：
Objective: To evaluate the utility of the Luminex xTAG gastrointestinal pathogen panel (GPP) assay in the detection of enteric pathogens from diarrheal stool samples in Kuwait. Materials and Methods: The Luminex xTAG GPP assay was used according to the manufacturer's instructions to evaluate single diarrheal stool samples from 109 hospitalized patients at Mubarak Al-Kabeer Hospital, Kuwait, from March 2014 to June 2015. The assay procedure involved nucleic acid extraction from stool samples, amplification of the target by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, hybridization of the amplified target by probe, detection of the target by the Luminex instrument and computerized data analysis. Conventional microbiological assays were used as the gold standard for comparison. Results: From the 109 diarrheal stool samples, 20 (18.4%) pathogens were detected by the xTAG GPP assay compared to 10 (9.2%) pathogens using conventional assays. Both methods detected 3 Salmonella spp., 3 Clostridium difficile, 2 rotavirus and 2 norovirus. In addition, the xTAG GPP assay detected 1 Shigella sp., 6 Campylobacter spp., 1 Cryptosporidium sp. and 2 Giardia lamblia which were missed by conventional assays. Conclusions: In this study, xTAG GPP detected twice as many pathogens as the conventional assays. We recommend the introduction of this assay in routine diagnostic laboratories for a rapid and better diagnosis and treatment of diarrheal disease. (C) 2016 S. Karger AG, Basel.
