Clostridium difficile 027/NAP1/BI is the most common C. difficile strain in the United States. The Xpert C. difficile/Epi assay allows rapid, presumptive identification of C. difficile NAP1. We compared Xpert C. difficile/Epi to multilocus sequence typing for identification of C. difficile NAP1 and found "very good" agreement at 97.9% (κ = 0.86; 95% confidence interval, 0.80 to 0.91).
艰难梭菌027/NAP1/BI是美国最常见的艰难梭菌菌株。Xpert艰难梭菌/流行率检测可快速、初步鉴定艰难梭菌NAP1。我们将Xpert艰难梭菌/流行率检测与多位点序列分型用于鉴定艰难梭菌NAP1进行了比较,发现一致性“非常好”,为97.9%(κ = 0.86;95%置信区间,0.80至0.91)。
