Clostridium in faeces
04 April, 2007 | Supplied by: Ngaio Diagnostics
The BioStar OIA CdTOX AB assay is an immunoassay test for the rapid qualitative detection of Clostridium difficile Toxins A and/or B in human faecal samples from patients suspected of having CDAD. Toxin A is an enterotoxin which appears to be responsible for the clinical symptoms of diarrhoea and colonic inflammation, while Toxin B is responsible for the associated cell destruction. Clinical symptoms of CDAD were once thought to be solely due to Toxin A; however, there is growing evidence that Toxin B may also play an important role in the pathogenesis of C. difficile. In many markets it is mandatory to use a test that detects both toxins, therefore a test which detects both toxins would be an aid to prompt diagnosis and allow the physician to initiate appropriate patient management.
