Clostridium difficile<\/em> is an anaerobic bacteria that grows in the intestine when the normal flora has been altered by treatment with antibiotics. Only toxigenic strains cause infections from mild-diarrhea to pseudomembranous colitis, potentially leading to death. Detection of Glutamate Dehydrogenase (GDH) that is an antigen marker of C.difficile<\/em> proliferation allows significant cost reduction in lab diagnosis for suspected C.difficile<\/em> samples. Positive GDH samples should be investigated further to test for the toxins A or\/and B. The Coris C. diff-Strip is a ready-to-use immunochromatographic test that allows the specific detection of C.difficile<\/em> GDH in stool specimens in a strip format. When the fecal suspension comes into contact with the strip, the solubilized conjugate migrates with the sample and both reagents come into contact with the anti-Clostridium <\/em>GDH antibody adsorbed onto the nitrocellulose. If the sample contains C.difficile<\/em> GDH, a red line develops. The result is visible within 15 minutes.
