Emergence ofClostridium difficileInfection Due to a New Hypervirulent Strain, Polymerase Chain Reaction Ribotype 078

22 Sept 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Since 2005, an increase in the prevalence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) due to polymerase chain reaction ribotype 078 has been noticed in The Netherlands. This strain has also been identified as the predominant strain in pigs and calves. METHODS: CDI caused by type 078 was studied in relation to CDI caused by the hypervirulent type 027 and by types other than 027 and 078. Human and porcine...
