Abstract excerpt
Clostridioides difficile sequence type (ST) 35 has been found in humans and animals worldwide. However, its genomic epidemiology and clonal transmission have not been explored in detail. In this study, 176 C. difficile ST35 isolates from six countries were sequenced. Genomic diversity, clonal transmission and epidemiological data were analyzed. Sporulation and virulence capacities were measured. Four ribotypes...
