Comparison between Go-GutDx, a novel diagnostic stool test kit with potential impact in low-income countries, and BioFire test.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Infectious diarrheal diseases are one of the leading causes of worldwide morbidity and mortality. The incidence of diarrhea is higher in Low-Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), where more than 90% of deaths from diarrheal diseases occur. Diagnostic tests for infectious diarrhea are not readily available in Low-Middle-Income Countries. Our study evaluates a novel, cost-effective, easy-to-use DNA stool testing kit for infectious diarrhea that can easily be rolled out in low-resource settings and has comparable performance to current testing modalities in the USA in terms of diagnostic utility.

Methods

435 stool samples were tested using the novel stool testing Kit (Go-GutDx®). The stool samples were in groups of 8 and were tested using floating microspheres DNA extrac
