Distribution of Clostridium difficile variant toxinotypes and strains with binary toxin genes among clinical isolates in an American hospital.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 Sept 2004

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variants of Clostridium difficile have been reported with increasing frequency, but their true incidence is unknown. C. difficile strains have been classified into variant toxinotypes according to variations in the pathogenicity locus encoding the major virulence factors, toxins A and B. Some strains produce an additional toxin, binary toxin CDT. This survey of clinical isolates (153) from patients in a...
