Optimized Surveillance Testing for Toxigenic <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> to Scale Prevention Programs Across Clinical Settings

2026-07-23

Abstract excerpt

Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of healthcare acquired infections (HAIs). Healthcare systems lack scalable strategies to identify patients colonized with toxigenic strains to inform prevention programs. We developed a scalable program using rectal swabs, collected for vancomycin resistance Enterococci surveillance, with ex vivo amplification of C. difficile in Cdiff Banana Broth (BB). Optimized con...
