Genetic relatedness between Japanese and European isolates of Clostridium difficile originating from piglets and their risk associated with human health

8 Oct 2014

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium difficile colonization in pig intestine has been a public health concern. We analyzed C. difficile prevalence among piglets in Japan to clarify their origin and extent of the associated risk by using molecular and microbiological methods for both swine and human clinical isolates and foreign isolates. C. difficile was isolated from 120 neonatal piglet fecal samples. Toxin gene profile, antimicrobial...
