Clinical Severity of Clostridium difficile PCR Ribotype 027: A Case-Case Study

18 Mar 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Clostridium difficile is a leading infectious cause of health care associated diarrhoea. Several industrialised countries have reported increased C. difficile infections and outbreaks, which have been attributed to the emergent PCR ribotype 027 strain. METHODS AND FINDINGS: We conducted a case-case study to compare severity of C. difficile disease for patients with 027 versus non-027 ribotypes. We...
