METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING CLOSTRIDIOIDES DIFFICILE INFECTION

摘要

A method for diagnosing a subject with Clostridioides difficile infection (GDI) is described. The method includes obtaining a breath sample from the subject, obtaining a VOC profile of the breath sample using an analytic device wherein the VOC profile comprises one or more of the VOCs detected and its corresponding quantity, inputting one or more of the VOC quantities into a machine learning model stored in a non-transitory memory and implemented by a processor, and diagnosing the subject as having or not having GDI based on the output of the machine learning model.
