Yersinia Enterocolitica Antigen Test
Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing for Gastrointestinal Infections
The Yersinia Enterocolitica Antigen Test represents a cutting-edge diagnostic solution for detecting one of the most common bacterial causes of gastrointestinal distress. Yersinia enterocolitica is a significant foodborne pathogen that can lead to serious health complications if left undiagnosed. Our advanced testing methodology provides healthcare professionals with reliable, same-day results to facilitate prompt medical intervention and appropriate treatment strategies.
What Does This Test Measure?
This specialized antigen detection test utilizes immunochromatographic technology (ICT) to identify specific proteins and surface markers produced by Yersinia enterocolitica bacteria. The test specifically targets:
- Bacterial surface antigens unique to Yersinia enterocolitica
- Virulence factors associated with pathogenic strains
- Specific protein markers that indicate active infection
- Presence of bacterial components in stool samples
The test’s high sensitivity and specificity make it an invaluable tool for distinguishing Yersinia infections from other gastrointestinal conditions with similar symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This diagnostic test is particularly recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Persistent diarrhea lasting more than 48 hours
- Severe abdominal pain, especially in the lower right quadrant
- Fever accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms
- Bloody or mucus-containing stools
- Symptoms following consumption of undercooked pork or contaminated food
- Recent travel to areas with known Yersinia outbreaks
- Contact with individuals diagnosed with yersiniosis
- Unexplained joint pain following gastrointestinal illness
