    What Is a Clostridium Difficile DNA Detection by Real Time PCR - Stool Test?

    The Clostridium Difficile DNA Detection by Real Time PCR - Stool test examines stool samples for the bacterium Clostridium difficile (C. diff), which can infect the large intestine. This infection ranges from mild diarrhoea to severe dehydration and colitis, and in rare cases, can be life-threatening.

    C. diff bacteria are common in the environment and can be found in the stool of infected individuals. Poor hand hygiene after using the bathroom can spread the bacteria, typically when someone touches their mouth after contacting contaminated surfaces.

    Most infections occur during or shortly after antibiotic use, which can disrupt the balance of good bacteria, allowing C. diff to thrive. The bacteria release toxins that irritate the colon. Tests for C. diff may detect these toxins, specific genes, or proteins.

    Accurate diagnosis often requires multiple test types. FDA-approved PCR assays are reliable for identifying toxin-producing C. diff, but caution is needed when interpreting results, especially in asymptomatic individuals or those with other diarrhoea causes.

    If you live in Bangalore and have been experiencing diarrhoea, consider getting a Clostridium Difficile DNA Detection by Real Time PCR – Stool test to see if an C. diff infection might be the cause of your problem.
