Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a type of bacteria that is associated with diarrhea resulting from antibiotic use. C. difficile testing and C. difficile toxin tests identify the presence of these bacteria and detect the toxins produced by them.
Using toxigenic culture as the gold standard, the sensitivities and specificities, respectively, of the assays were 48% and 98% for the Premier Toxin A/B EIA (Meridian diagnostics); 48% and 99% for the ImmunoCard toxin A and B test (Meridian); 48% and 84% for the Xpect Clostridium difficile toxin A/B test (Remel); 32% and 100% for the Triage Clostridium difficile panel (for toxin A, Biosite Diagnostics); and 86% and 97% for the PCR assay.
