TLDR
There is no general method for typing C. difficile, but a number of typing methods of use to single centres have been described, and several attempts have been made to develop a universal typing scheme.Abstract:

Development and application of a multiple typing system for Clostridium difficile.
TL;DR: It is concluded that more than one of the techniques reported in this paper must be used to achieve an acceptable level of typeability of this species.

Diagnosis of Clostridium Difficile-Associated Intestinal Disease
TL;DR: Diagnosis of C. difficile-associated intestinal disease should now be routinely performed in diagnostic clinical laboratories based on the demonstration of either the organism or the toxin in stool specimens or antibody response in serum to the toxin(s).

TL;DR: Binding of nucleotides, a tetrapolyphosphate, and NAD+ to purified toxin A of Clostridium difficile was determined by monitoring changes in intrinsic fluorescence following excitation at 280 nm, and recording emissions at 340 nm.
