Cycloserine-cefoxitin fructose agar (CCFA), CCFA with horse blood and taurocholate (CCFA-HT), and cycloserine-cefoxitin mannitol broth with taurocholate and lysozyme (CCMB-TAL) were compared for recovery of Clostridium difficile from 120 stool specimens. Compared to CCFA, CCFA-HT enhanced C. difficile growth and improved recovery by 4%. In a separate study, 9% (8/91) of stool samples previously C. difficile negative on plate medium were C. difficile positive when cultured in CCMB-TAL.
环丝氨酸头孢西丁果糖琼脂(CCFA)、添加马血和牛胆盐的 CCFA(CCFA-HT),以及添加牛胆盐和溶菌酶的环丝氨酸头孢西丁甘露醇肉汤(CCMB-TAL)用于从 120 份粪便标本中回收艰难梭菌。与 CCFA 相比,CCFA-HT 增强了艰难梭菌的生长,回收率提高了 4%。在另一项研究中,9%(8/91)先前在平板培养基上艰难梭菌阴性的粪便样本在 CCMB-TAL 中培养时呈艰难梭菌阳性。
