CHROMagar has developed an outstanding medium for the detection of Clostridium difficile
Short Background
Clostridium difficile (C.difficile) is the leading cause of nosocomial infectious diarrhea in adults. These infections occur mostly in patients who have both medical care and antibiotic treatment and have become more frequent and more difficult to treat in the last years due to the emergence of highly toxigenic C.difficile strains.
Detection Methods
Although PCR has become the leading C.difficile detection technique, culture is essential
for strain typing and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. CHROMagarTM C.difficile is a new
fluorogenic culture medium, extremely sensitive and selective, especially designed to simplify
and speed up (24h) the culture of C.difficile.
