Abstract
- The evaluation of the fully automated BD MAX Cdiff assay on a panel of 100 stool samples characterized by the Xpert C. difficile assay reported a high concordance between the two molecular assays (kappa coefficient of 0.96), which makes this new assay suitable for routine detection of toxigenic Clostridium difficile.
