The Need

The alarming rise in the incidence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) highlights the need for rapid and accurate diagnostic solutions:

• Sensitivity of current available rapid diagnostic tests are unacceptably low

• Incremental costs due to C. difficile infection can be as high as $7,179 per patient
