Name:Implementation of rejection criteria for stool culture: a ballad of loss and gains?
Description:

Stool culture is time consuming and positivity rate in resource-rich settings is low. To gain efficiency and reduce costs, rejection criteria are implemented which allow to reduce the number of fecal samples cultured, without missing clinically relevant enteropathogens. We retrospectively evaluated the impact of two rejection criteria recommended by guidelines.
