Molecular epidemiology of endemic Clostridium difficile infection.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Jun 2001

Fawley W N, Wilcox M H

Abstract excerpt

This is the first study to provide a comprehensive insight into the molecular epidemiology of endemic Clostridium difficile and particularly that associated with a recently recognized epidemic strain. We DNA fingerprinted all C. difficile isolates from the stools of patients with symptomatic antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and from repeated samples of the inanimate ward environment on two elderly medicine...
