We describe a novel, semiautomated Clostridium difficile typing platform that is based on PCR-ribotyping in conjunction with a semiautomated molecular typing system. The platform is reproducible with minimal intra- or interassay variability. This method exhibited a discriminatory index of 0.954 and is therefore comparable to more arduous typing systems, such as pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
我们描述了一种新颖的半自动化艰难梭菌分型平台,该平台基于 PCR-核糖体分型技术,并结合了半自动分子分型系统。该平台具有可重复性,且内部和外部试验变异性很小。该方法的分辨指数为 0.954,因此可与更繁琐的分型系统(如脉冲场凝胶电泳)相媲美。
