High prevalence of toxigenic Clostridium difficile in public space lawns in Western Australia.

Scientific reports - 1 Feb 2017

Moono Peter, Lim Su Chen, Riley Thomas V

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium difficile is a well-established hospital pathogen. Recently, it has been detected increasingly in patients without hospital contact. Given this rise in community associated infections with C. difficile, we hypothesized that the environment could play an important role in transmission of spores outside the hospital. Lawn samples (311) collected in public spaces in the metropolitan area of Perth,...
