Canaccord Genuity on Life Sciences -- Biomedical Devices and Services - A clinical lab perspective of C. difficile testing

Canaccord analyst, Jeffrey Frelick, said, "The American Association of Clinical Chemistry recently hosted an expert access presentation that featured Dr. Eileen Burd, Director of Clinical Microbiology and Laboratory Medicine at Emory University Hospital. Dr. Burd discussed the use of molecular tests for the diagnosis and management of C. difficile. We reiterate our BUY ratings on Cepheid (Nasdaq: CPHD) and Meridian Bioscience (Nasdaq: VIVO) given the endorsement from Dr. Burd’s comments that the world is moving toward molecular testing based upon the superior sensitivity and improvements in ease of use. In addition, Cepheid and Meridian Bioscience are currently garnering most of the C. difficile molecular testing."
