High prevalence of Clostridium difficile PCR ribotype 078 in pigs in Korea.

Anaerobe - 1 Jun 2018

Kim Ha-Young, Cho Ara, Kim Jong Wan, Kim Heejung, Kim Bumseok

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium difficile can cause neonatal enteritis, but has been isolated from both diseased and healthy pigs. C. difficile shedding by pigs is a potential source of zoonotic transmission to humans. The objectives of this study were to characterize the prevalence and genotype of C. difficile with respect to age and health status in the pig industry for the first time in Korea. Fecal samples of 910 pigs were...
