Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is diagnosed with the help of conventional laboratory testing methods, however, rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests are also available, which can save time and costs significantly. Clostridium difficile is a disease caused by bacteria. The illness manifests as a variety of symptoms, such as diarrhea, nausea, and colon inflammation. Furthermore, since antibiotics kill healthy bacteria in the body and promote the growth of C. difficile bacteria, they are also responsible for clostridium difficile infection when taken frequently. Watery diarrhoea, dehydration, fever, nausea, loss of appetite, and weight loss are typical signs of clostridium difficile infection. Diagnostic assays used for detection of CDI include enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) for toxins A/B. However, these are no longer considered stand-alone primary tests due to poor sensitivity. Other tests include glutamate dehydrogenase enzyme immunoassay and molecular assay based on polymerase chain reaction. Isothermal amplification technology has also been approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for diagnosis of CDI. Manufacturers such as Cepheid, BD Diagnostics, DiaSorin, Inc., Abbott Laboratories, Thermo Fisher Diagnostics, and Luminex Corporation offer advanced diagnostic tests for clostridium difficile infection. For instance, Cepheid GeneXpert test, Nanosphere Verigene SP by Luminex Corporation offer sensitivity and timely results for clostridium difficile infection.

Market Dynamics

Factors such as rising prevalence of clostridium difficile infection, availability of precise and advanced diagnostic techniques such as real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and presence of generic versions of standard antibiotics such as metronidazole is expected to boost growth of the clostridium difficile diagnostics and treatment market over the forecast period. Furthermore, various organizations and manufacturers are working towards increasing awareness about clostridium difficile infection and its severity. For instance, in March 2018, C Diff Foundation awarded its “Making a Difference” award to CutisPharma, Inc.—a pharmaceutical company, for contribution of the company towards increasing awareness and expanding treatment options.
