Abstract excerpt
Clostridioides difficile sequence type (ST) 37 (ribotype 017) is one of the most prevalent genotypes circulating in China. However, its genomic evolution and virulence determinants were rarely explored. Whole-genome sequencing, phylogeographic and phylogenetic analyses were conducted for C. difficile ST37 isolates. The 325 ST37 genomes from six continents, including North America (n = 66), South America (n = 4),...
