An Epidemic, Toxin Gene–Variant Strain of <i>Clostridium difficile</i>

1 Dec 2005

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recent reports suggest that the rate and severity of Clostridium difficile-associated disease in the United States are increasing and that the increase may be associated with the emergence of a new strain of C. difficile with increased virulence, resistance, or both. METHODS: A total of 187 C. difficile isolates were collected from eight health care facilities in six states (Georgia, Illinois, Maine,...
