Survey of capacities in detection of major diarrheal pathogens in provincial CDC laboratories in China

  • Objective To understand the test conditions and capacities in detection of major diarrheal pathogens in provincial CDC laboratories and provide evidence for the improvement of laboratory based diarrhea surveillance. Methods The questionnaire survey was conducted in 27 provincial CDCs to understand their test conditions and capacities in the isolation/identification, serotyping, drug resistance surveillance and molecular biology detection of major diarrheal pathogens as well as other information about the laboratory capacity. Results All the 27 provincial CDCs completed the questionnaires. All the laboratories could conduct routine isolation/culture, biochemical identification and serotyping of major diarrheal pathogens, but could not conduct prompt drug resistance test of these pathogens. Some laboratories had not established molecular biology detection and molecular subtyping assays. Moreover, the laboratories needed more qualified laboratory technicians. Conclusion The provincial CDC laboratories surveyed can conduct routine isolation/identification of major diarrheal pathogens, but their capacities in rapid molecular biology detection and molecular subtyping should be strengthened. The development of laboratory network based surveillance of diarrheal pathogens should be facilitated in these laboratories.
