Abstract excerpt

Clostridioides difficile is one of the most important healthcare-associated pathogens. Recently, several new 027-like types have been found that all belong to the multilocus sequence typing (MLST) Clade 2. We report a rapidly spreading outbreak of C. difficile infections (CDI) due to a newly identified PCR ribotype (RT) 181 in a Rehabilitation Centre (RC). Genomic analysis revealed the outbreak strain, not...
