C. Difficile Toxin A & B is a stool test used to detect the presence of toxins A and B produced by the bacterium Clostridium difficile. These toxins are responsible for causing C. difficile infections, which can lead to severe diarrhea and colitis, particularly in individuals who have recently taken antibiotics. This test helps diagnose C. difficile infection and guides appropriate treatment for gastrointestinal symptoms.
