The yellow‐green or chartreuse fluorescence of Clostridium difficile was investigated on a range of media. The intensity of fluorescence varied depending on the basal medium used. The choice of an appropriate basal medium facilitates the use of fluorescence as an aid to the presumptive identification of Clostridium difficile .
