Culture-independent diagnostic tests (CIDTs) are increasingly used to identify enteric pathogens. However, foodborne illness surveillance systems have relied upon culture confirmation to estimate disease burden and identify outbreaks through molecular subtyping. This study examined the impacts of CIDT and estimated costs for culture verification of Shigella, Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), and Campylobacter at the Tennessee Department of Health Public Health Laboratory (PHL).
