C. difficile Toxin Detection System

Cytotoxin (Toxin B), produced by toxigenic strains of C. difficile, is a sensitive indicator of pathogenicity of this anaerobic bacterium. C. difficile causes pseudomembranous colitis and severe diarrhea in patients on various antibiotics or who are otherwise compromised when normal bacterial fecal flora are reduced. Early detection can help establish needed therapeutic measures to improve patient health and prevent serious sequelae.
