TSRapid Clostridium difficile GDH Antigen Rapid Test – Feces
The TS RAPID™ Clostridium difficile GDH Antigen Rapid Test is a rapid immunochromatographic assay developed for the qualitative detection of Clostridium difficile glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) antigen in human fecal samples. Clostridium difficile is one of the leading causes of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and healthcare-related gastrointestinal infections. GDH is a common antigen found in both toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains of C. difficile, making it an excellent screening marker for the presence of the organism.
