title: Use of the dot-immunogold assay for the rapid diagnosis of acute enteric infections.
abstract: A simple method based on an immunodot assay using colloidal gold labels is proposed for the rapid diagnosis of a range of acute enteric infections. Owing to its rapidity, high sensitivity, and specificity, the method can be recommended for routine use in the laboratory diagnosis of enteric infections.
