Current status of Clostridium difficile infection epidemiology.

Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America - 1 Aug 2012

Lessa Fernanda C, Gould Carolyn V, McDonald L Clifford

Abstract excerpt

The dramatic changes in the epidemiology of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) during recent years, with increases in incidence and severity of disease in several countries, have made CDI a global public health challenge. Increases in CDI incidence have been largely attributed to the emergence of a previously rare and more virulent strain, BI/NAP1/027. Increased toxin production and high-level resistance to...
