Résumé
A newly developed Clostridioides difficile-selective growth broth, which can be cultured under aerobic conditions, was found to have a sensitivity/specificity (98%/89%) comparable to conventional anaerobic culture methods. This might be a powerful tool for diagnosing Clostridioides difficile infection in resource-limited regions and health care settings in the future.
