Home About us Products Technology Contact Distributors Literature News C. DIFFICILE Toxin producing Clostridium difficile is a gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium. It is the most serious cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD) and the most common cause of pseudomembranous colitis. Symptoms of C. difficile-associated disease (CDAD) often begin after medication with antibiotics. Diagnosing toxigenic C. difficile infection is a challenge in many clinical microbiology laboratories because of poor performance of rapid tests, increasing testing costs, and complicated algorithms. The GenomEra® C. difficile from Abacus Diagnostica offers a rapid, simple, and high performance molecular assay to diagnose your patients directly from unformed stool samples suspected positive for toxigenic C. difficile in less than one hour. Clinical performance Sensitivity: 97/98 = 99.0% Specificity: 222/224 = 99.1% Assay steps for stool samples: (tutorial video can be found here) Pick stool into the Z-tube and vortex. Pipette 35 ul to the test chip. Start the GenomEra® CDX assay run.
