A quantitative PCR to detect non-toxigenic Clostridioides difficile
ABSTRACT Clostridioides difficile species lacking toxin genes (non-toxigenic C. difficile or NTCD) may confer protection against CDI. However, current diagnostic tests detect either toxin proteins or toxin genes and cannot detect NTCD. This study developed a molecular testing method that uniquely id...
