In MODIFY I/II, bezlotoxumab had a substantially greater magnitude of reduction in recurrent CDI in participants diagnosed by toxin assay versus indirect methods to determine toxin-producing ability (toxin gene polymerase chain reaction/toxigenic culture), i.e. 46.6% versus 29.1% relative reduction, respectively.
Knowledge and Practices of Physicians and Nurses Related to Urine Cultures in Catheterized Patients: An Assessment of Adherence to IDSA Guidelines
Open Forum Infectious Diseases, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2019, ofz305, https://doi.org/10.1093/ofid/ofz305
