Summary

Clostridium difficile is a bacterium that infects dogs, cats and other animals and is transmissible from animals to man.  It is important for veterinary diagnostic laboratories and public health laboratories to monitor infections of C. difficile as preventative measures and control of  zoonotic infections.

Analysis

Companies that provide rapid tests for the diagnosis of C. difficile will support laboratories that diagnosis and monitor C. difficile infections in man and animals.   Diagnostic laboratories have a limited budget for development of new diagnostic tests and rely on companies that specialize in developing rapid and accurate tests.  The demand could be large for rapid testing of such diseases as C. difficile.
