Accurate Molecular Typing for Clostridioides difficile Epidemiology

The Cica Geneus™️ C. diff POT KIT is a powerful PCR-based molecular epidemiology tool developed to support both outbreak investigations and routine surveillance of Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infections. This kit enables fast, accurate, and strain-level genotyping, helping laboratories and infection control teams to identify and track the spread of C. diff in clinical and community settings.

Key Features

🔬 PCR-based ORF Typing (POT)

This kit utilizes a unique multiplex PCR method that targets specific open reading frames (ORFs) for genotyping C. difficile strains. By amplifying multiple gene targets in a single assay, it provides high-resolution typing with excellent reproducibility and reliability.

🕒 Fast Turnaround Time
  • Complete analysis in approximately 4 hours
  • Efficient workflow, ideal for routine use or urgent outbreak response
🔢 Digitized Result Interpretation
  • Electrophoresis results are translated into POT types, allowing easy comparison and tracking
  • Enables homology comparison across multiple isolates to identify potential transmission links
📊 High Discriminatory Power
  • Offers a level of discrimination comparable to PFGE (Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis) but with a much simpler workflow
  • Suitable for passive epidemiological surveillance and active outbreak investigations

Applications

Hospital Infection Control
Track and contain nosocomial C. difficile infections

Public Health Surveillance
Monitor strain distribution in community and long-term care settings

Research
Study C. difficile population structures and transmission dynamics
