--- title: Advances in Diagnostic Testing for the Bacteria, Viruses, and Parasites Behind Infectious Gastroenteritis description: Infectious gastroenteritis is a disease caused by bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens in which the small and/or large intestines become severely inflamed. Among the symptoms of infectious gastroenteritis is acute diarrhea. Clinical laboratory testing to identify the cause of acute diarrhea is critical to allow early, appropriate treatment. image: https://info.darkdaily.com/hubfs/bacterial-gastroenteritis-AS-389915894-sm.jpeg --- [![dark daily logo-no tags-FIT](https://info.darkdaily.com/hubfs/dark%20daily%20logo-no%20tags-FIT.png)](https://www.darkdaily.com/) - [Dark Report](https://www.darkintelligencegroup.com/) - [Lab Resources](https://www.darkdaily.com/laboratory-resources-2/) - [E-Briefings](https://www.darkdaily.com/ebriefings/) - Products - [Webinars](https://www.darkdaily.com/webinar/) - [White Papers](https://www.darkdaily.com/whitepapers/) - [Special Reports](https://www.darkdaily.com/special-reports-library/) - [Staff Training](https://info.darkintelligencegroup.com/the-dark-intelligence-group-boot-camps) - [Lead Generation](https://www.darkdaily.com/2022-strategy-and-solutions-guide/) - [Press Releases](https://www.darkdaily.com/press-releases/) ### ON-DEMAND WEBINAR --- # Advances in Diagnostic Testing for the Bacteria, Viruses, and Parasites Behind Infectious Gastroenteritis --- ### This webinar is a must attend program for lab managers and administrators who recognize the challenges of infectious gastroenteritis testing. #### Aired March 23, 2023 [![STREAM ON-DEMAND](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/19537694/59fbcfce-13c5-4070-8fba-4d5526fbb487.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/19537694/59fbcfce-13c5-4070-8fba-4d5526fbb487) A 60-Minute Webinar Sponsored By ![purepng.com-thermo-fisher-scientific-logologobrand-logoiconslogos-251519940288wy078](https://info.darkdaily.com/hubfs/purepng.com-thermo-fisher-scientific-logologobrand-logoiconslogos-251519940288wy078.png) To bring clinical laboratory leaders up to date about the challenges of infectious gastroenteritis and diagnostic testing, Dark Daily offers this free educational webinar, featuring Davidson Hamer, MD, from the Boston University School of Public Health and Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine.   ## What You'll Learn - Overview of infectious gastroenteritis for reference laboratory, physician office, and nurse leaders - Why identifying cause of infectious gastroenteritis is difficult (causes and spread) - Advances in molecular diagnostics for infectious gastroenteritis compared to traditional culture and microscopy procedures (testing methods) - New perspectives in the clinical utility of limited sets of pathogenic targets [![STREAM ON-DEMAND](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/19537694/59fbcfce-13c5-4070-8fba-4d5526fbb487.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/19537694/59fbcfce-13c5-4070-8fba-4d5526fbb487) ![bacterial-gastroenteritis-AS-389915894-cr](https://info.darkdaily.com/hubfs/bacterial-gastroenteritis-AS-389915894-cr.jpeg) ## Speaker #### Davidson Hamer, MD Professor of Global Health and Medicine Boston University School of Public Health Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine Davidson Hamer, MD, FACP, FIDSA, FASTMH, FISTM, is a board-certified specialist in infectious diseases with a particular interest in tropical infectious diseases.
