Abstract：
OBJECTIVES:To determine the impact of the 2018 introduction of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for C. difficile detection on the laboratory diagnosis of C. difficile infection (CDI), and the distribution of C. difficile ribotypes. METHODS:A retrospective analysis of five years (2015-2019) of C. difficile diagnostic laboratory and PCR ribotyping test results. RESULTS:A total of 255,104 diagnostic results, from 136,353 patients were analysed: 199,794 samples where glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) was used as the primary screen; and 55,310 where NAATs were employed. An overall decrease in frontline positivity from 2015 to 2019 (10.3% [n = 5017] to 6% [n = 3190] - p < 0.0001) was observed, despite an increase in the number of samples tested (48,778 to 52,839). NAAT positivity was lower than GDH (p < 0.0001) for the two years where it was implemented. The variance was accounted for by increased overall C. difficile isolation and reduced toxin negative strain culture from NAAT positive samples (p < 0.0001). Ribotype distribution (6546 samples) remained stable with decreasing RT27 isolation in each year except 2017 (p < 0.0001). RT78 was associated with toxin A/B EIA positivity (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS:Use of NAAT for the detection of C. difficile, as part of a 2-step algorithm, has not led to an increase in CDI laboratory diagnostic test positivity. In spite of ribotype distribution being comparable for screening in toxin A/B positive samples, there is a significantly greater correlation between NAAT positivity and culture of toxigenic strains compared to GDH.
