Clostridial Myonecrosis Cluster Among Injection Drug Users

11 Mar 2002

Abstract excerpt

A molecular epidemiologic investigation was performed on a cluster of severe necrotizing Clostridium infections in 5 injection drug users admitted to an urban community hospital. Interviews with survivors suggested a point source of infection. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of SmaI restriction digests was performed to determine the molecular relatedness of clinically obtained isolates and isolates obtained from...
