Comparison of qPCR versus culture for the detection and quantification of Clostridium difficile environmental contamination
Contaminated surfaces serve as an important reservoir for Clostridium difficile transmission. Current strategies to detect environmental contamination of C. difficile rely heavily on culture, and often only indicate presence versus absence of spores. The goal of this study was to compare quantitativ...
