Abstract excerpt
The genotyping of Clostridium difficile is generally performed by the analysis of fragment- or amplification-length polymorphism by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ribotyping. However, sequence-based methods allow typing technique standardisation and data comparison. In the present study 100 C. difficile isolates, obtained from various institutions in the state of...
