Novel Molecular Type of<i>Clostridium difficile</i>in Neonatal Pigs, Western Australia

1 Apr 2013

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium difficile causes neonatal enteritis in piglets; strains of PCR ribotype 078 are most commonly identified. We investigated C. difficile prevalence in piglets in Australia and isolated a novel strain with a unique pathogenicity locus. In a mouse infection model, this strain produced more weight loss than did a ribotype 078 strain.
