Low-Toxin <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> RT027 Strains Exhibit Robust Virulence

2022-03-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Clostridioides difficile is a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections worldwide. Currently, there is lack of consensus on a single optimal diagnostic method for C. difficile infection (CDI). Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) that detect toxin genes are highly sensitive, but their specificity limitations could inflate CDI rates. Alternate multi-step diagnostic algorithms emphasiz...
