Abstract excerpt

The aim of this work was to identify and characterize Clostridium difficile strains from fecal and hospital environmental samples. C. difficile toxins were detected by ELISA in 28.5% of the analyzed samples. Four strains were isolated from immunosuppressed inpatients presenting antibiotic-associated diarrhea. All strains possessed tcdA and tcdB genes and did not present neither the cdtA and cdtB genes nor any...
