Moreover, enteric diseases, which are infections of the gastrointestinal system caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, are prevalent across the world. Enteric diseases can be transmitted by contaminated food and water sources, inadequate sanitation, and close human-to-human contact. The growing prevalence of enteric infections demands accurate diagnostic tests to identify the causative agents, advise proper therapy, and prevent future transmission.
 

For instance, as per the stats reported by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2022 there were an estimated 9.4 million diseases, 56,000 hospital admissions, and 1,350 fatalities in the U.S. attributed to infections from major foodborne pathogens.
 

Moreover, public health surveillance systems are crucial in monitoring the prevalence, and trends of enteric disease on an individual, national, and globally scale. Surveillance data reveal insights into disease outbreaks, new pathogens, antibiotic resistance patterns, and healthcare use trends, allowing for prompt interventions and resource allocation methods. Enteric disease testing is a critical component of public health surveillance activities, enabling early diagnosis, containment, and control of infectious diseases, thereby contribute to the growth of the enteric disease testing market.
 

Enteric disease testing refers to the diagnostic evaluation conducted to identify infections and illnesses affecting the gastrointestinal tract, commonly known as the enteric system. The enteric system encompasses various organs and structures involved in the digestion and absorption of food, including the stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, and anus.
