Comparison of Anaerobic Culture Methods for Detecting <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> in Bovine Faeces
The detection of C. difficile in a much high number of these samples by shotgun metagenomics, albeit at low levels of relative abundance, suggests that neither of these culture protocols is sensitive when levels of abundance are low.
