Sensitive and Selective Culture Medium for Detection of Environmental Clostridium difficile Isolates without Requirement for Anaerobic Culture Conditions
Abstract
Effective and easy-to-use methods for detecting Clostridium difficile spore contamination would be useful for identifying environmental reservoirs and monitoring the effectiveness of room disinfection. Culture-based detection methods are sensitive for detecting C. difficile, but their utility is limited due to the requirement of anaerobic culture conditions and microbiological expertise. We developed a low-cost selective broth medium containing...
