Development of TaqMan-Based Quantitative PCR for Sensitive and Selective Detection of Toxigenic Clostridium difficile in Human Stools
31 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Clostridium difficile is the main cause of nosocomial diarrhea, but is also found in asymptomatic subjects that are potentially involved in transmission of C. difficile infection. A sensitive and accurate detection method of C. difficile, especially toxigenic strains is indispensable for the epidemiological investigation. METHODS: TaqMan-based quantitative-PCR (qPCR) method for targeting 16S rRNA,...
