Evaluation of diagnostic tests for Clostridium difficile infection.

Jonathan Swindells1, Nigel Brenwald, Nathan Reading, Beryl Oppenheim.   

Abstract

We evaluated toxigenic Clostridium difficile detection by a lateral flow assay for antigen and toxin, an enzyme immunoassay, and two commercial PCR methods. Compared to the cell cytotoxicity neutralization assay and toxigenic culture, both toxin detection methods lacked sensitivity. PCR following combined antigen and toxin detection provided the most useful diagnostic information.
