Clostridium difficile ribotype 017 – characterization, evolution and epidemiology of the dominant strain in Asia

1 Jan 2019

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium difficile ribotype (RT) 017 is an important toxigenic C. difficile RT which, due to a deletion in the repetitive region of the tcdA gene, only produces functional toxin B. Strains belonging to this RT were initially dismissed as nonpathogenic and circulated largely undetected for almost two decades until they rose to prominence following a series of outbreaks in the early 2000s. Despite lacking a...
