Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Clostridioides difficile (CD) is the leading cause of antimicrobial-associated diarrhea (AAD) and causes a spectrum of disease with high recurrence, morbidity, and mortality. CD pathogenicity is primarily driven by toxins A and B, and, in some strains, by the binary toxin. This study evaluated antimicrobial susceptibility profiles and resistance and virulence genes profiles of isolates from patients...
