Abstract
Culture-independent diagnostic test (CIDTs) are increasingly used to diagnose enteric
infections; however, public health surveillance of foodborne illnesses has historically
depended on isolates. This study found that CIDT-positive specimens yielded a pathogen in
only 61% of reported cases compared to culture-derived isolates.
