What is a stool test for Clostridium difficile?plus

A stool test for Clostridium difficile detects the bacterium or its toxins in a fecal sample to diagnose C. difficile infection. Laboratories typically use toxin assays, GDH screening, and/or PCR for toxin genes. A fresh stool sample is collected in a sterile container; results confirm infection, guide antibiotic treatment, and inform infection‑control measures to prevent spread.

What stools should be collected for Clostridium difficile?plus

Collect unformed/watery (diarrhoeal) stool specimens, ideally from patients with acute diarrhoea (≥3 loose stools in 24 hours). Do not submit formed stools for C. difficile testing. Obtain a fresh sample promptly, ideally before starting treatment; use rectal swabs only if stool cannot be produced. Label and transport promptly per laboratory instructions to preserve diagnostic accuracy.

What color is Clostridium stool?plus

Clostridium difficile infection usually produces frequent, watery, foul-smelling diarrhea that can be yellowish or greenish and may contain mucus. Stools are typically loose rather than formed; blood can appear in more severe cases. Color alone doesn’t confirm C. difficile, so testing and clinical assessment are needed if you have persistent, severe, or bloody diarrhea, fever, or abdominal pain.
