Beskrivning
Generally, Clostridium difficile DNA can be detected in the specimens of patients with food-borne infections, and a positive result indicates the presence of toxigenic Clostridium difficile DNA; confirmation of the patient’s infection status needs to be combined with clinical medical history and other diagnostic information. A positive result does not exclude other viral infections or co-infection with other bacteria. The detected pathogen may not be the exact cause of the disease. A negative result does not exclude Clostridium difficile infection. Negative results must be combined with clinical observation, patient history, and epidemiological information.
