摘要：Changes in diagnostic laboratory testing procedurescan impact on the number of cases notified andthe public health surveillance of enteric pathogens.Culture independent diagnostic testing using a multiplexpolymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was introducedfor the rapid detection of bacterial entericpathogens in pathology laboratories in Queensland,Australia, from late 2013 onwards. We conducted aretrospective descriptive study using laboratory datato assess the impact of the introduction of PCR testingon four common enteric pathogens, Salmonella,Campylobacter, Shigella and Yersinia, in Queenslandbetween 2010 and 2014.
