  • CELL WALL PROTEIN CwpV (CD0514) AS A DIAGNOSTIC MARKER FOR CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE RIBOTYPE 027
    Publication number: 20130302813
    Abstract: Accurate and rapid differentiation of the outbreak strain ribotype 027 from other possible Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) strains, using stool samples, facilitates decision making for treatment options. Cell wall protein V (CwpV) contains a cell wall binding domain conserved among C. difficile strains and a variable domain which is antigenically different among C. difficile strains. In embodiments, antibodies against the 027-specific region in CwpV are used in diagnostic tests to detect ribotype 027 in culture or fecal samples.
