Clostridioides difficile is a leading cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea and is a known cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. Laboratory tests and endoscopy have been used to diagnose C. difficile infection (CDI). Among the laboratory tests, the gold standard is the cell cytotoxicity assay and toxigenic C. difficile culture, which are difficult to use in hospital laboratories. Recently, a multi-step algorithm using a glutamate dehydrogenase assay, a nucleic acid amplification technique, and toxin A/B assay have been widely used clinically. This presentation will discuss strategies for better CDI diagnosis based on laboratory methods and recently recommended algorithms.
