In recent years, the incidence and severity of Clostridium difficile infections has increased.Additionally, resistance of C. difficile to frequently used antibiotics is rising. To improve ourunderstanding of C. difficile, there is a need for molecular characterization of different strains andantibiotic resistance testing. We investigated the efficacy of GenoType CDiff kit (Hain Lifesciences)in identification of C. difficile and its various strains in northern Israel. The kit involves a molecularassay that detects C. difficile from stool samples or colonies and identifies the different strains andmutations in the gyrA gene that cause moxifloxacin resistance. Forty‐nine C. difficile positive sampleswere examined by the kit following DNA extraction from both colonies and stool. The identificationrate (95.9%) of C. difficile was much higher when DNA was extracted from colonies, compared toextraction from stool (46.9%). Low frequencies of ribotype027 strain (2%) and of ribotype078 strain(4%) were found. There was a high concordance between genotype (mutation in gyrA) andphenotype (Etest) for moxifloxacin resistance (Kappa=0.72). A high percentage of moxifloxacinresistantstrains was found. Our findings indicate that the GenoType CDiff kit is very effective incharacterization of C. difficile strains and less effective for identification of C. difficile directly fromstool samples.
