Detection of Clostridium difficile Toxin by Counterimmunoelectrophoresis: a Note of Caution

AUTOR(ES)

Poxton, Ian R.

RESUMO

Recent methods for detection of Clostridium difficile toxin by counterimmunoelectrophoresis might lead to errors. False-positives may be attributable to soluble cell surface antigens reacting with impure antitoxin.
