1

Gastrointestinal infections are a leading cause of global morbidity, with diarrheal diseases contributing significantly to illness and mortality.
2

Antimicrobial resistance is limiting treatment options for enteric pathogens, exacerbating the mortality associated with bacterial infections.
3

The epidemiology of GI infections varies by socio-demographic context, with different pathogens dominating in high-income versus low-resource settings.
4

Culture-independent diagnostic tests have improved pathogen detection but may hinder public health responses due to incomplete reflex culture.
5

Multiplex PCR panels can enhance diagnosis and treatment of GI infections but may lead to misinterpretation and inappropriate antibiotic use.
