The CloDif qPCR comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Clostridioides difficile detection by using qPCR. Clostridioides difficile (formerly Clostridium difficile) is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, motile, ubiquitous and spore-forming bacterium from the family Clostridiaceae. Sometimes antibiotic therapy for various infections has the adverse effect of disrupting the normal balance of the gut flora, in which case C. difficile may opportunistically dominate, causing colitis. Pathogenic C. difficile strains produce multiple toxins. The most characterized are enterotoxin (C. difficile toxin A) and cytotoxin (C. difficile toxin B), both of which may produce diarrhoea and inflammation in infected patients. Most cases of C. difficile colitis are nosocomial infections.
