Material and Methods: We performed \u0000a cross- sectional study by successive recruitment to assess the diagnostic value \u0000of rapid diagnostic tests algorithms using ELISA as a reference test. A total \u0000of 661 blood from donors were enrolled for this study. Rapid Diagnostic Tests \u0000(RDTs) and ELISA tests were performed for each sample by a couple of \u0000double-blinded biotechnologists. Data were collected on case report form and \u0000captured in Microsoft Excel then the file was imported and analyzed using R \u0000software version 4.0.3. Results: The diagnostic accuracy for the \u0000algorithms are summarized in Table 1. For HIV-algorithm, the \u0000internal validity parameters were as follow: sensitivity (sens) 99.0% (95% CI = \u000097.8, 99.5); specificity (spec) 98.3% (95% CI = 90.9, 99.7); positive \u0000likelihood ratio (PLR) 57.4 (95% CI = 8.2, 401.0); negative likelihood ratio \u0000(NLR) 0.01 (95% CI = 0.0005, 0.02); diagnostic odd ratio (DOR) 4710. HBV-Ag/Ab \u0000RDTs achieve the following diagnostic accuracy: sens 99.7% (95% CI = 98.3, \u000099.9); spec 98.8% (95% CI = 96.9, 95.5); PLR 81.8 (95% CI = 30.9, 217.0); NLR \u00000.003 (95% CI = 0.0004, 0.02); DOR 14,110. The \u0000analytical performances of HCV-Ab RDTs were as follow: sens 98.7% (95% CI = \u000097.5, 99.4); spec 93.1% (95% CI = 78.0, 98.1); PLR 14.3 (95% CI = 3.8, 54.5); \u0000NLR 1.5 (95% CI = 0.8, 2.8); DOR 962.6. The parameters evaluating the external \u0000validity of RDTs screening for the three viral markers when the theorical \u0000prevalence was 5% are summarized in Figure 3. At the prevalence , 99.99% and 99.94%. At the same prevalence, we found \u0000the following Positive Predictive Values (PPV) 70.82%, 77.59% and 37.35% for \u0000HIV-Ag/Ab RDTs, HBV-Ag RDTs and HCV-Ab RDTs algorithms, respectively. The \u0000overall areas under the received operating characteristic (ROC) curves were \u000098.6%, 99.2% and 99.2%; 95.9% for HIV-Ag/Ab RDTs, HBV-Ag RDTs and HCV-Ab RDTs \u0000algorithms, respectively.

Traditionally, probiotics are incorporated into dairy products. How-ever, because of the growing number of individuals affected by lactose intolerance and/or vegans, other food matrices have been studied as potential carriers for these microorganisms.
