Abstract excerpt

Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is associated with risk for severe disease and high mortality. Little is known about the extent of hospital-acquired CDI in Mainland China. In this study, we aimed to investigate the annual CDI incidence, bacterial genotypes, risk factors for severe CDI and survival over a 7-year period. A total of 307 hospital-acquired CDI patients were enrolled, and 70.7% of these cases...
