Interferences: Previous or current antibiotic usage may interfere with PCR test results for protozoal or bacterial organisms.
Note: Follow‑up cultures are immediately performed on submissions found to be PCR‑positive for Salmonella (when a Copan fecal swab is received by the laboratory). Additionally, samples found to be PCR‑positive for DNA of C. perfringens enterotoxin or C. difficile toxins are immediately tested for these toxins by ELISA.

Note: Follow‑up cultures are immediately performed on submissions found to be PCR‑positive for Salmonella (when a Copan fecal swab is received by the laboratory). Additionally, samples found to be PCR‑positive for DNA of C. perfringens enterotoxin or C. difficile toxins are immediately tested for these toxins by ELISA.
