Primary detection rates and overall bacterial culture rates were calculated for each target pathogen using both testing regimes (Stage I) including a comparison of in-patient and out-patient diagnoses (Stage II).<\/jats:p>\n \n Results.<\/jats:bold> Stage I analysis showed that the primary detection rate significantly increased for \n \n Campylobacter<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> spp. (P<\/jats:italic><0.0001), \n \n Salmonella<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> sp. (P<\/jats:italic>=0.0151), \n \n Shigella<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> spp. (P<\/jats:italic><0.0001), STEC (P<\/jats:italic><0.0001), Cryptosporidium<\/jats:italic> spp. (P<\/jats:italic><0.0001) and Giardia duodenalis<\/jats:italic> (P<\/jats:italic><0.0001) when using NAAT compared to microscopy or bacterial culture. A significant decrease was seen in the overall rate of \n \n Campylobacter<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> spp. isolation by bacterial culture (P<\/jats:italic><0.0001), whilst other targets remained unaffected. Stage II analysis showed that NAAT positive out-patient samples were more likely to be supplemented by a positive bacterial culture than NAAT positive in-patient samples for \n \n Campylobacter<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> spp. (P<\/jats:italic><0.0001), Salmonella<\/jats:italic> sp. (P<\/jats:italic>=0.0004) and STEC (P<\/jats:italic>=0.0039). However, \n \n Shigella<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> spp. was more frequently isolated from NAAT positive in-patient samples (P<\/jats:italic>=0.0005). A notable increase was seen for G. duodenalis<\/jats:italic> detection from in-patient samples (P<\/jats:italic>=0.0002). Reference laboratory data showed the NAAT assay can detect at least 53 serotypes of STEC but may not be able to detect some of the rarer species of Cryptosporidium<\/jats:italic> seen in human infections.<\/jats:p>\n \n Conclusion.<\/jats:bold> The implementation of NAAT has significantly increased the primary detection rate of all target enteric pathogens in Wales and information gleaned previously from direct culture is largely unaffected.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/jmm.0.001555","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]],"date-time":"2022-05-31T16:18:22Z","timestamp":1654013902000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Network-wide
