DOI: 10.1016/j.diagmicrobio.2019.03.013
Abstract: Though the FilmArray GI Panel has a reported aggregate specificity and reproducibility of >97% and > 99%, respectively, the reproducibility is less understood in clinical practice. We measured the reproducibility of positive results for low-prevalence pathogens. Samples… read more here.
