Gastrointestinal Panel in a High-Complexity Center

Reviewer's report:
Dear authors. I appreciate the corrections you have made.  There are still aspects to correct in
search of the best quality of the article so that it can be published in BMC Gastroenterology.
1.  I consider that the tables can still be visually enhanced to make them easy to see, analyze
and understand.
2. There are words that are misspelled such as the word Genre which should be Gender.
3.  There are also words written in Spanish such as “Positivo” and “Negativo” (Table 2) when
it should be Positive and Negative.
4. There are words that were included but do not have the meaning that is intended.  You are
using the word chronicle instead of chronic.
5. The terms EPEC, EAEC, ETEC and ESTEC should not be written in italics.
6. There are words that are written in italics on the tables and that should not be written that way.
Example (Table 3): Acute, Subacute, Trasplant, Hematologic neoplasia, HIV, Solid neoplasm,
etc.
7. The cells or lines of the tables must be adjusted.  The first letter of some sentences should be
capitalized, such as I for Inflammatory bowel disease in Table 3.
8.  The correct name and as described in the gastrointestinal panel method is Shiga-like toxin-
producing E. coli (STEC) stx1/stx2 and should be spelled as such.
General tip: details make a difference and are an indicator of quality!
