Use of Highly Discriminatory Fingerprinting to Analyze Clusters of Clostridium difficile Infection Cases Due to Epidemic Ribotype 027 Strains

24 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

We compared multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) and macrorestriction endonuclease analysis using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to determine their utility to identify clusters of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) among 91 isolates of PCR ribotype 027 (NAP1, for North American pulsed-field type 1) from nine hospitals (and 10 general practitioners associated with one institution)...
