COMPARISON OF WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCE-BASED METHODS AND PCR RIBOTYPING FOR SUBTYPING OF Clostridioides difficile
COMPARISON OF WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCE-BASED METHODS AND PCR RIBOTYPING FOR SUBTYPING OF Clostridioides difficile
Clostridioides difficile is the most common cause of antibiotic-associated gastrointestinal infections. Capillary-electrophoresis (CE)-PCR ribotyping is currently the gold standard for C. difficile typing but lacks discriminatory power to study transmission and outbreaks in detail. New …

Detection of potential enteric pathogens in children with severe acute gastroenteritis using the filmarray: Results from a three - years hospital-based survey in Northern Italy
Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children. Therefore, rapid pathogens identification is needed. The AGE aetiology was investigated from 2018 to 2020 in 2,066 children in Parma (Italy) by FilmArray Gastrointestinal Panel and Enterovirus-targeting RT-PCR. Pa …

Pediatric Clostridioides difficile Infection: Diagnosis and Diagnostic Stewardship
Pediatric Clostridioides difficile Infection: Diagnosis and Diagnostic Stewardship
Although the pathogenesis of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is complex and incompletely understood, it is believed that the elaboration of C. difficile toxins is necessary for disease. There are a variety of tests available for the detection of both the C. difficile organism and its toxins …

The Laboratory Diagnosis of Clostridioides difficile Infection: An update of current laboratory practice
Clostridioides difficile can cause colitis and is associated with hospital acquired infections. The C. difficile infection (CDI) is due to production of toxins A and B which bind to epithelial cell surface receptors and triggers signaling pathways, leading to loss of epithelial barrier function, apo …

Systematic Review on the Correlation of Quantitative PCR Cycle Threshold Values of Gastrointestinal Pathogens With Patient Clinical Presentation and Outcomes
Systematic Review on the Correlation of Quantitative PCR Cycle Threshold Values of Gastrointestinal Pathogens With Patient Clinical Presentation and Outcomes
Background: Quantitative (q) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cycle threshold (Ct) values represent the number of amplification cycles required for a positive PCR result and are a proxy of pathogen quantity in the tested sample. The clinical utility of Ct values remains unclear for gastrointes …

Rapid ultra-sensitive diagnosis of clostridium difficile infection using a SERS-based lateral flow assay
Clostridium difficile (C. diff) infection is one of the most contagious diseases associated with high morbidity and mortality rates in hospitalised patients. Accurate diagnosis can slow its spread by determining the most effective treatment. Herein, we report a novel testing platform as a proof-of-c

Deconstructing the urinalysis: A novel approach to diagnostic and antimicrobial stewardship
The extensive use of the urinalysis for screening and monitoring in diverse clinical settings usually identifies abnormal urinalysis parameters in patients with no suspicion of urinary tract infection, which in turn triggers urine cultures, inappropriate antimicrobial use, and associated harms like …

Evaluation of an immunochromatographic test for the detection of glutamate dehydrogenase for the diagnosis of Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile infection in dogs
This study aimed to evaluate an immunochromatographic test used to detect glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) for the diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in dogs. Fecal samples of 119 diarrheic dogs were subjected to toxigenic culture as the "gold standard" method and to GDH detection (Ecod …

Clostridium difficile: The Story Continues on Vimeo
Clostridium difficile: The Story Continues Globally, Clostridium difficile is one of the most common causes of healthcare-associated infections in hospitals. Recently, focus of C. difficile testing has moved from identification of the organism to detecting the toxins that cause the disease. This webinar will review the updated 2017 C.difficile guidelines and recommendations from the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) and describe how these updates apply to the microbiology laboratory.
