Comparison of Control of Clostridium difficile Infection in Six English Hospitals Using Whole-Genome Sequencing

7 Apr 2017

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Variation in Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) rates between healthcare institutions suggests overall incidence could be reduced if the lowest rates could be achieved more widely. METHODS: We used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of consecutive C. difficile isolates from 6 English hospitals over 1 year (2013-14) to compare infection control performance. Fecal samples with a positive initial screen...
