BIOSYNEX AMPLIQUICK® Fecal Bacteriology is an advanced in vitro molecular diagnostic kit designed to detect and differentiate 15 bacterial pathogens associated with gastroenteritis from DNA extracted from stool samples. Using multiplex real-time PCR technology, this innovative kit ensures accurate identification of bacterial species and toxins, enabling timely and accurate diagnosis.

This comprehensive kit detects critical pathogens including Campylobacter spp, Salmonella spp, Clostridioides difficile (including hypervirulent strains), Aeromonas spp, Yersinia enterocolitica, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Escherichia coli pathotypes (EPEC, EAEC, ETEC, EHEC, EIEC and O157 strain). It also identifies bacterial toxins, such as cholera toxin, binary toxin and Shiga toxins, making it a powerful tool for the detection of gastroenteritis pathogens.

High sensitivity and specificity for accurate results
BIOSYNEX AMPLIQUICK® Fecal Bacteriology offers unparalleled sensitivity and specificity compared to conventional diagnostic methods. The kit’s real-time PCR technology detects bacterial DNA with high accuracy, providing reliable results even in complex or low concentration samples. Internal amplification and procedural controls further enhance reliability, ensuring consistent and reproducible results.

Validated by the French National Reference Centre for Campylobacter and Helicobacter, this kit meets the highest standards of quality and performance, making it an essential tool for laboratory professionals tackling bacterial gastroenteritis.

Designed for laboratory efficiency
BIOSYNEX AMPLIQUICK® Fecal Bacteriology is designed to optimise laboratory workflow. The kit contains ready-to-use reagents in prefilled tubes, reducing preparation time and minimising the risk of contamination. It is compatible with various thermocyclers and DNA extraction systems, making it adaptable to most laboratory setups. Samples can be processed using BIOSYNEX AMPLIQUICK® faecal pre-treatment or FecalSwab™ (Copan), ensuring versatility and easy integration into existing diagnostic protocols. This streamlined approach improves operational efficiency and supports high-throughput testing in busy laboratory environments.

Comprehensive syndromic diagnostics
The BIOSYNEX AMPLIQUICK® Fecal Bacteriology Kit can be used as a stand-alone diagnostic tool or combined with the BIOSYNEX AMPLIQUICK® Fecal Virology Kit for syndromic diagnosis. This dual approach allows the simultaneous detection of bacterial and viral pathogens from the same stool sample, providing a complete picture of the causative agents of infectious diarrhea.

Acute infectious diarrhoea is a global health problem caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites, often with overlapping clinical symptoms. BIOSYNEX AMPLIQUICK® Faecal Bacteriology assists healthcare professionals in identifying the cause of infection and providing appropriate treatment in a timely manner.
