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.
