Questionable diagnostic value of Clostridium difficile toxin detection in new-born piglets

Clostridium difficile (CD) is claimed to be a common cause of diarrhoea in young piglets. Since the bacterium also is present in healthy pigs, the diagnosis is recommended to be based on detection of CD-toxins. The aim of this study was to investigate the...
