Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the tcdC gene and presence of the binary toxin gene predict recurrent episodes of Clostridium difficile infection.

Annals of surgery - 1 Aug 2014

Stewart David B, Berg Arthur S, Hegarty John P

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To identify Clostridium difficile genotypes, which are associated with recurrent C difficile infection (RCDI). BACKGROUND: Reliable bacterial genetic factors predicting RCDI are currently lacking. METHODS: Inpatients and outpatients 18 years or older treated at our institution for C difficile infection (CDI) of any severity were consecutively enrolled. CDI was defined as symptoms of colitis with a...
