Clostridium difficile Infection

Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 1996
The spore-forming anaerobe Clostridium difficile has become a serious enteropathogen. Changes in the composition of natural intestinal flora, mainly due to antibiotic therapy, permit its colonization of, and multiplication in, the colon. The disease is caused by (entero)toxin A and (cyto)toxin B, and infection ranges from asymptomatic carrier state and

CLOSTRIDIUM SORDELLI INFECTION

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1975
A case of human Clostridium sordelli soft tissue infection is presented. Analysis of this patient's course led to the use of a mouse experimental model for examination of this organism's potential for toxin production. Data thus obtained correlated with that seen in this instance of human infection, indicates that the lethal effects of this organism ...

Clostridium difficile Infection

Annual Review of Medicine, 1998
Clostridium difficile infection is associated with broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and is the most common cause of infectious diarrhea in hospital patients. Pathogenic strains of C. difficile produce two protein exotoxins, toxin A and toxin B, which cause colonic mucosal injury and inflammation. Infection may be asymptomatic, cause mild diarrhea, or

Clostridium difficile infection.

BMJ (Clinical research ed.), 2009
Rangaiah and colleagues comment that currently used tests for Clostridium difficile toxin are not very sensitive.1 However, the specificity of these commercial assays also ranges from 97% to 99%, meaning that approximately 1-2 out of every 10 positive results using these kits are incorrect.2 False positive results are even more likely when testing ...
