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.

I was a bit hesitant at first but the kit made it simple and hygienic. The result was reassuring and we could move forward with the treatment plan.
