Insufficiency of PCR diagnostics for Detection of Diarrhoeagenic<i>Escherichia coli</i>in Ibadan, Nigeria
2023-01-09
Abstract excerpt
Understanding the contribution of different diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli pathotypes to disease burden is critical to mapping risk and informing vaccine development. Targeting select virulence genes by PCR is the diagnostic approach of choice in high-burden, least-resourced African settings. We compared the performance of a commonly-used multiplex protocol to whole genome sequencing (WGS). PCR was applied to 3,8...
