In a clinical setting with low prevalence of 'epidemic' PCR ribotype 027, the BD MAX Cdiff assay was found to be a suitable alternative to the Xpert C. difficile assay for the detection of toxigenic Clostridium difficile in samples which are reflex PCR tested after obtaining a discrepant immunoassay result. There was no significant difference between the sensitivities and specificities of both commercial molecular assays.
在“流行的”PCR核糖体分型027患病率较低的临床环境中,发现BD MAX艰难梭菌检测法是Xpert艰难梭菌检测法的合适替代方法,用于在免疫测定结果出现差异后进行反射PCR检测的样本中检测产毒艰难梭菌。两种商业分子检测法的敏感性和特异性之间没有显著差异。
