Product Summary and Explanation
Clostridium difficile is a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. It is now one of the most commonly detected enteric pathogens, and an important cause of nosocomial infections in hospitals and nursing homes. The organism has been isolated from diverse natural habitats, including soil, hay, sand, dung from various large mammals, and from dog, cat, rodent and human feces.
In 1979, George et al. developed a medium called CCFA (Cycloserine-Cefoxitin-Fructose agar), based on the Egg Yolk Agar formula of McClung and Toabe with fructose replacing glucose.2 Clostridium Difficile Agar is a modification of the original CCFA formulation.
