A newly developed Clostridioides difficile-selective growth broth, which can be cultured under aerobic conditions, was found to have a sensitivity/specificity (98%/89%) comparable to conventional anaerobic culture methods. This might be a powerful tool for diagnosing Clostridioides difficile infection in resource-limited regions and health care settings in the future.
一种新开发的、可在需氧条件下培养的艰难梭菌选择性生长肉汤,其灵敏度/特异性(98%/89%)与传统的厌氧培养方法相当。这可能是未来在资源有限的地区和医疗机构中诊断艰难梭菌感染的有力工具。
