Clostridium difficile
, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
a) providing a reaction medium comprising at least one beta-glucosidase substrate capable of identifying
C. difficile,
b) inoculating the medium with a biological sample to be tested,
c) allowing for incubation, and
d) detecting the hydrolysis of the beta-glucosidase substrate, indicative of the presence of
Clostridium difficile.
The invention also relates to a reaction medium for the detection and/or the identification of
