About the Test
This stool test looks for toxins A and B produced by Clostridioides difficile, a bacterium that can overgrow in the gut after antibiotic use and cause severe, watery diarrhoea. A positive result points to C. difficile as the cause of the infection and guides targeted treatment, while a negative result helps rule it out. It is symptom-driven rather than a routine screen, usually ordered when persistent diarrhoea follows a recent course of antibiotics or a hospital stay.
What is it? A stool antigen test that detects the A and B toxins made by Clostridioides difficile, also known as C. diff or CDI toxin testing.
