Test Description
Feline GI PCR Panel, SARS‑CoV‑2 PCR Add‑on Panel

Feline GI PCR panel (CT955) to which evaluation for SARS‑CoV‑2 PCR has been added to determine whether the gastrointestinal signs being exhibited could be related to the typical etiologic agents or potentially SARS‑CoV‑2.

Note: Follow‑up cultures are immediately performed on submissions found to be PCR‑positive for Salmonella (when a Copan fecal swab is received by the laboratory). Additionally, samples found to be PCR‑positive for DNA of C. perfringens enterotoxin or C. difficile toxins are immediately tested for these toxins by ELISA.
