Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The motility and genotype of the flagellin fliC and fliD genes were investigated in 82 Clostridioides difficile isolates belonging to the ribotypes (RTs): 027 (n = 41), 176 (n = 17), 023 (n = 8), 017 (n = 6) and 046 (n = 10). The reference C. difficile strains 630 and M120 were included as controls for the motility assay. METHODS: A Multiple Locus Variable-number Tandem Repeat Analysis (MLVA) was used to...
