Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Current approaches in tracking Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) and individualizing patient management are incompletely defined. METHODS: We recruited 468 subjects with CDI at Mayo Clinic Rochester between May and December 2016 and performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on C. difficile isolates from 397. WGS was also performed on isolates from a subset of the subjects at the time of a...
