Clostridium difficile Ribotype Does Not Predict Severe Infection

12 Sept 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Studies of Clostridium difficile outbreaks suggested that certain ribotypes (eg, 027 and 078) cause more severe disease than other ribotypes. A growing number of studies challenge the validity of this hypothesis. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of C. difficile infection (CDI) to test whether ribotype predicted clinical severity when adjusted for the influence of other predictors....
