Abstract excerpt
Clostridium difficile multilocus sequence type 37 (ST37), which mainly corresponds to ribotype 017, has been a dominant genotype circulating in China. In this study, we report the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to analyze and characterize 204 C. difficile clinical isolates, including 49 ST37 and 155 non-ST37 isolates collected in China and other...
