  • Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is amongst the most frequently reported micro-organisms in healthcare associated infections in Europe1
  • It is associated with an increase in length of hospital stay, high morbidity and mortality resulting in both societal and financial burden2
  • Highly virulent (027-NAP1-BI) strains have caused outbreaks of severe diseasae in Europe and North America and are often resistant to fluoroquinolones3
  • Although the accurate and rapid diagnosis of C. difficile is essential for effective and timely treatment, this remains an unmet clinical need4

Fast and accurate detection of toxigenic C. difficile is essential to aid diagnostic assessment, support bed management and help reduce opportunities for transmission and outbreaks. It has been associated with*:
– 45% reduced empiric therapy5
– 48% reduced isolation days6
