Accurate and rapid differentiation of the outbreak strain ribotype 027 from other possible() strains, using stool samples, facilitates decision making for treatment options. Cell wall protein V (CwpV) contains a cell wall binding domain conserved amongstrains and a variable domain which is antigenically different amongstrains. In embodiments, antibodies against the 027-specific region in CwpV are used in diagnostic tests to detect ribotype 027 in culture or fecal samples.
