The Need

  • 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

The Solution

  • Xpert C. difficile BT provides detection and differentiation of Clostridioides difficile & the epidemic    027 strain, with a callout for binary toxin, in 43 minutes from unformed stool specimens
  • Rapid detection and differentiation of Clostridioides difficile & the epidemic 027 strain optimizes patient management decisions, enables timely and appropriate treatment, and supports infection control and outbreak prevention measures4

The Impact

  • Rapid and accurate detection of toxigenic C. difficile is essential to diagnose CDI to implement optimized therapy and bed management and to help prevent transmission and outbreaks:
    – 45% reduced empiric therapy5
    – 48% reduced isolation days6
