Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) ST37/RT017 is one of the most prevalent genotypes, exhibiting resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents and widespread dissemination, particularly in East Asia. However, its evolutionary history and genetic adaptation remains limited. Here, we aimed to systematically assess the genetic diversity, key evolutionary events, and potential driving forces of C....
