Characterization of Clostridium difficile isolates using capillary gel electrophoresis-based PCR ribotyping

16 Oct 2008

Abstract excerpt

We have developed a Clostridium difficile PCR ribotyping method based on capillary gel electrophoresis and have compared it with conventional PCR ribotyping. A total of 146 C. difficile isolates were studied: five isolates were reference strains (PCR ribotypes 001, 014, 017, 027 and 053); 141 were clinical isolates comprising 39 Austrian PCR ribotypes collected in the period 2006-2007 at 25 Austrian healthcare...
