  • Method for detecting and/or identifying
    Patent number: 8404460
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting and/or identifying Clostridium difficile, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: a) providing a reaction medium comprising at least one beta-glucosidase substrate capable of identifying C. difficile, b) inoculating the medium with a biological sample to be tested, c) allowing for incubation, and d) detecting the hydrolysis of the beta-glucosidase substrate, indicative of the presence of Clostridium difficile. The invention also relates to a reaction medium for the detection and/or the identification of Clostridium difficile, that comprises at least one beta-glucosidase substrate capable of identifying C. difficile.
