Abstract excerpt
Despite being incapable of causing Clostridium difficile infection, non-toxigenic C. difficile (NTCD) may still be relevant. This study explored the role of NTCD as a reservoir of accessory antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in NTCD from Southeast Asia. This region has high rates of antimicrobial use, a high prevalence of NTCD and phenotypic AMR in such strains. More than half of the 28 NTCD strains...
