abstract

• Prevention and management of Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI) can be improved by rapid and reliable diagnostics. The VIDAS® C. difficile GDH assay had comparable performance to the QUIK CHEK 60 assay (overall agreement 95%) and sensitivity of >93%; thus suitable as the first test in two-stage algorithms for CDI diagnosis.Copyright © 2015, American Society for Microbiology.
