Comparison of the STANDARD M10 C. difficile, Xpert C. difficile, and BD MAX Cdiff assays as confirmatory tests in a two-step algorithm for diagnosing Clostridioides difficile infection

Comparison of the STANDARD M10 C. difficile, Xpert C. difficile, and BD MAX Cdiff assays as confirmatory tests in a two-step algorithm for diagnosing Clostridioides difficile infection

ABSTRACT Current guidelines recommend a two-step algorithm rather than relying solely on a single test for diagnosing Clostridioides difficile infection. This algorithm starts with enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for detecting glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and toxins A/B, followed by nucleic acid amplifica...
