Clinical Utility of Laboratory Detection of Clostridium difficile Strain BI/NAP1/027.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Jan 2016

Kociolek Larry K, Gerding Dale N

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium difficile strain BI/NAP1/027 is associated with increased C. difficile infection (CDI) rates and severity, and the efficacy of some CDI therapies may be strain dependent. Although cultured C. difficile isolates can be reliably subtyped by various methods, the long turnaround times, high cost, and limited availability of strain typing preclude their routine use. Nucleic acid amplification tests...
