Multiplex PCR detection of enteric pathogens in a community-based birth cohort in Ecuador: comparison of xTAG-GPP and TaqMan array card assays.

ABSTRACT: We compared the performance of two multiplex platforms, Luminex xTAG Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel^® and TaqMan Array Card, against a panel of 14 enteric pathogen targets in a community-based birth cohort in Ecuador. We found high levels of agreement and similar prevalence estimates across most pathogens.
