Abstract
Join us for a compelling webinar that delves into gastrointestinal pathogen diagnostics and the crucial role of targeted testing options in routine patient care. A Microbiology and Virology Medical Director will explore molecular testing for enteric bacterial and parasite pathogens, emphasizing the adaptability and precision of smaller panels to address diverse clinical needs.
 
Additionally, a Clinical Laboratory Director will present local prevalence data of common enteric bacterial pathogens and the critical significance of Clostridioides difficile, highlighting the necessity of rapid and accurate diagnosis. The two presentations will thoroughly examine the clinical applications and practical considerations of molecular testing, including diagnostic algorithms and laboratory workflows. This event promises to deliver invaluable insights into the latest advancements in molecular diagnostics for gastrointestinal infections.
 
Learning Objectives
  • Explore the clinical utility of targeted molecular panels for enteric pathogen detection.
  • Interpret local prevalence data to guide diagnostic decision-making.
  • Understand diagnostic algorithms and workflows for molecular GI testing.
