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 low1
- Additional length of stay increase caused by C. difficile infection is 5.6 days1
- Incremental costs due to C. difficile infection can be as high as $7,1791 per patient
- Testing of all suspected CDI cases directly with PCR is cost effective2

The Solution
Today's testing methodologies have forced clinicians to choose between solutions that deliver either speed or accuracy. Cepheid's Xpert® C. difficile delivers both in just 40 minutes:
- Superior test accuracy eliminates the need for additional or repeat testing
- Testing of all suspected CDI cases directly with PCR is cost effective2
- Rapid identification of infected patient helps infection control efforts
- Timely reporting enables clinicians to administer appropriate therapy thereby improving patient management
