Embodiments of the invention include methods and/or compositions for analysis of samples for C. difficile infection to determine whether or not an individual is at risk for having recurrent C. difficile infection or a CDI misdiagnosis. Methods include characterization of microflora composition from the gut, wherein alterations of the microflora gut composition are indicative of recurrence of infection. Methods include analysis of nucleic acids from the gut, such as 16S rRNA as being identifying of a particular bacteria in the analysis of bacterial populations of the gut.
本发明的实施方案包括用于分析艰难梭菌感染样本的方法和/或组合物,以确定个体是否有反复感染艰难梭菌或被误诊为艰难梭菌感染的风险。方法包括鉴定肠道微生物菌群组成,其中肠道微生物菌群组成的改变表明感染复发。方法包括分析来自肠道的核酸,如 16S rRNA,作为分析肠道细菌种群中特定细菌的标识。
