Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A zoonotic association has been suggested for several PCR ribotypes (RTs) of Clostridioides difficile. In central parts of Sweden, RT046 was found dominant in neonatal pigs at the same time as a RT046 hospital C. difficile infection (CDI) outbreak occurred in the southern parts of the country. OBJECTIVE: To detect possible transmission of RT046 between pig farms and human CDI cases in Sweden and...
