We evaluated the Xpert C. difficile and Xpert C. difficile/Epi (Cepheid, CA) that detect the toxin B gene (tcdB) and tcdB, cdt, and a deletion in tcdC associated with the 027/NAP1/BI strain, respective...

Conversely, low quality or contradictory Class I data may be insufficient to support a Level I recommendation. Level 2: Reasonably justifiable based on available scientific evi...
متن کاملClostridium difficile toxins and severe C. difficile infection.
The pathogenesis of colitis due to Clostridium difficile is closely linked to the elaboration of 2 large, single-unit glucosyltransferases referred to as toxin A (TcdA) and toxin B (TcdB). Clinical isolates from patients with symptomatic C. difficile infection (CDI) invariably produce both TcdA and TcdB or TcdB alone. Vaccination of experimental hamsters against both toxins prevents fatal C. di...
متن کاملTackling C difficile with environmental cleaning.
BACKGROUND Chlorine-based cleaning products are often used in acute settings for high-level disinfection of the environment to help control C difficile. However, these products must be used at high concentrations, making them irritant, toxic and corrosive. This means they are inappropriate for the near-patient environment, and can lead to user resistance and non-compliance. More recently, produ...
