Abstract:
In recent years, Clostridium difficile has been among the most important nosocomial pathogens. It causes intestinal infectious diseases detectable by numerous laboratory methods. Given the severity of the diseases, some tests have proved inadequately sensitive. The article summarizes the first experience with the latest kits for early and sensitive detection of toxic strains of Clostridium difficile.
