Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with relapses or re-infections in patients with recurring Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs). From September 2008 to January 2012, cases with two or more isolates from consecutive CDI episodes were included. PCR-ribotyping and multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis were performed using paired isolates. Among 473 patients, 68 (14.4%)...
