Gastrointestinal tract infections (gastroenteritis) include bacterial, viral and protozoan pathogens that cause inflammation of the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract. They rank as the second highest rates of mortality and morbidity following pneumonia, especially in children under 5 years of age in developing countries. Apart from the serious consequences of gastroenteritis infections, the disease is a burden on the health services in developed countries. Therefore, rapid and accurate diagnosis is very important worldwide.
