Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> /Aim: Bacterial and viral gastroenteritis present with overlapping symptoms, including vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Stool tests have been used to differentiate between them; however, stool cultures are time-consuming and stool polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are expensive.
