Whole genome analysis reveals new insights into the molecular characteristics of Clostridioides difficile NAP1/BI/027/ST1 clinical isolates in the People’s Republic of China

Abstract excerpt

Background: The epidemic new strain NAP1/BI/027/ST-1 of Clostridioides difficile ( C. difficile ) causes more severe coliti and a higher mortality rate than historical strains. However, C. difficile NAP1/BI/027/ST-1 ( C. difficile RT027) infections have been rarely reported in Asia, particularly in China. Purpose: The objective of this study was to strengthen the understanding of the molecular characterizations...
