VERIGENE® Enteric Pathogens Test
Help patients recover from gastrointestinal infections more quickly
VERIGENE® Enteric Pathogens Test is a rapid, easy-to-use, and cost-effective alternative to traditional stool diagnostics that delivers clinical, economic, and workflow benefits.
Disease state
Gastrointestinal infections lead to approximately 500,000 hospitalizations per year and 179 million outpatient visits annually in the U.S. It is the cause of more than 5,000 deaths per year and has become the leading cause of death in children under 5 years of age globally. Additionally, hospital outbreaks can lead to severe illness in at-risk populations and hospital ward closures. Diarrhea can also have a significant impact on society by disrupting daily life activities and leading to a high economic burden.
Gastrointestinal infections are a serious medical condition that can cause illness or death
The value of VERIGENE® Enteric Pathogens Test (EP)
Empower clinicians to rapidly optimize treatment for enteric pathogens
Proven clinical impact
Rapid identification of enteric pathogens can improve patient management decision-making, thereby minimizing the use of inappropriate drugs.
Outstanding economic value
Decrease costs by reducing the length of stay and minimizing the use of inappropriate antimicrobial drugs.
Workflow benefits
Confirmation of a negative stool sample takes only two hours on the VERIGENE® System, allowing labs to reallocate tech time to other priorities within the lab.
How the VERIGENE® Enteric Pathogen Test works
VERIGENE® EP is a multiplexed, qualitative test for simultaneous detection and identification of common pathogenic enteric bacteria, viruses, and genetic virulence markers from liquid or soft stool preserved in Cary-Blair medium.
Sample-to-answer
Consumables arrive at the laboratory ready to use with no further reagent preparation.
Faster time to results
Improve laboratory efficiency, increase positivity rate, and reduce turnaround times compared to culture by using VERIGENE® EP.
