Molecular and Microbiological Characterization of Clostridium difficile Isolates from Single, Relapse, and Reinfection Cases

29 Dec 2011

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we investigated the correlation between the microbiological characteristics of Clostridium difficile clinical isolates and the recurrence of C. difficile-associated disease (CDAD). Twenty C. difficile isolates recovered from 20 single infection cases and 53 isolates from 20 recurrent cases were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and PCR ribotyping, and the cytotoxicity,...
