Clostridioides difficile toxin A+B tcdA+tcdB genes [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection

C dif tox tcdA+tcdB Stl Ql NAA+probe

Definition

  • Qualitative detection of nucleic acid sequences in the Clostridium difficile toxin A (tcdA) and B (tcdB) genes in stool specimens by real-time PCR methods. This assay does not differentiate between C. difficile toxin A and B genes. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test kit, xTAG® Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (GPP).
