Laboratory‐AcquiredClostridium difficilePolymerase Chain Reaction Ribotype 027: A New Risk for Laboratory Workers?

6 Nov 2008

Abstract excerpt

To the Editor—Clostridium difficile is not recognized as a pathogen that presents a risk of acquisition in the laboratory, and no particular safety precautions are recommended for working with this microorganism [1]. We report 2 cases of laboratory acquisition of C. difficile infection in 2 technicians working with PCR ribotype 027 strains. Case 1 (The Netherlands). A 27-year-old healthy female PhD student...
