Evidence of False Positivity forVibrioSpecies Tested by Gastrointestinal Multiplex PCR Panels, Minnesota, 2016–2018

BACKGROUND: species are included on GMPPs, but because of the low prevalence of vibriosis, performance characteristics for these panels have been difficult to measure. METHODS: spp. cases identified by GMPPs in Minnesota during 2016-2018 (n = 100) were assessed to identify differences between culture-confirmed cases and those that were PCR-positive only. CONCLUSIONS: species to aid in accurate diagnoses.
