Foodborne Illness and Culture-Independent Diagnostic Tests (CIDTs)
Incidence and Trends of Infection with Pathogens Transmitted Commonly Through Food and the Effect of Increasing Use of Culture-Independent Diagnostic Tests on Surveillance—Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, 10 U.S. Sites, 2013–2016
Recent CDC reports look at the use of culture-independent diagnostic tests (CIDTs), an increasingly commonly used method for diagnosing intestinal bacterial infections transmitted commonly by food. CIDTs work by detecting the presence of a specific antigen or genetic sequence of an organism. CIDTs do not require isolation and identification of living organisms. Consequently, these tests can be conducted more rapidly and yield results far sooner than can be reached through traditional culturing methods. However, CIDTs do not provide the information needed to characterize the organisms that cause infections—information that is needed to identify antibiotic resistance, find outbreaks and monitor disease trends.
