Abstract
- Introduction: Campylobacter spp. infection is one of the leading causes of foodborne diarrhoeal illness in humans worldwide. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the DiaSorin LIAISON <superscript>®</superscript> Campylobacter assay for human campylobacteriosis diagnosis.<br />Methodology: A total of 645 stool samples from 640 patients suspected of having gastrointestinal infection were included. A stool culture was simultaneously performed with the DiaSorin LIAISON <superscript>®</superscript> Campylobacter assay to detect the presence of Campylobacter spp.<br />Results: Taking the conventional culture to be the perfect gold standard, sensitivity and specificity rates of the DiaSorin LIAISON <superscript>®</superscript> Campylobacter assay were 100% and 97.7%, respectively; and 99.1% and 98.6%, respectively, when taking the culture to be the imperfect gold standard (Bayesian Model).<br />Conclusion: This new assay might be a useful tool especially for the screening of negative results.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier España, S.L.U. and Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica.
