Abstract
Syndromic respiratory panels are increasingly used worldwide. Their performance for detection of Bordetella pertussis needs to be evaluated. We found that the FilmArray Respiratory Panel 2 plus (RP2+) assay, which uses the pertussis toxin promoter target for B. pertussis , can only detect highly charged samples. Negative RP2+ results should not be interpreted as an absence of B. pertussis in clinical samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
