Abstract excerpt

Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is caused by toxin-producing strains. It accounts for 20-30 % of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and particularly accounts for 90 % of pseudomembranous colitis. The epidemiological study of C. difficile is thus important. In this study, we report the molecular epidemiology and ward distribution of C. difficile in a tertiary hospital of China. A total of 161 toxigenic strains...
