Genesis Enteric Parasite Panel
The Genesis Enteric Parasite Panel utilizes multiplex, real-time PCR technology for the detection and differentiation of four (4) common gastroenteritis-associated parasites from both a single sample and a single reaction.
This single sample allows the physician to order testing for the following four (4) enteric parasites:
- Cryptosporidium spp.
- Cyclospora cayetanensis
- Entamoeba histolytica
- Giardia lamblia

*The detection of toxigenic Clostridium difficile (for toxins A/B) on the Genesis Lab Diarrhea Pathogen Panel indicates the presence of genes that encode for enterotoxin A/B but not the toxins themselves. Therefore, the detection of toxigenic Clostridium difficile without the presence of the toxins (A/B) could suggest a carrier state with no active toxin production. Detection of both toxigenic Clostridium difficile and the active toxin would be consistent with Clostridium difficile illness (CDI) if clinically suspected. Genesis Lab reflexes all detected toxigenic Clostridium difficile results to a second EIA-based assay which reports the presence or absence of the actively secreted toxins, A and B. A multistep algorithm for diagnosis of CDI which encompasses detection of the bacterium, the toxin, and the presence of inflammation (ie. calprotectin or lactoferrin) is currently recommended by many experts for definite CDI diagnosis and differentiation from carrier states.
