Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a major cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea and colitis worldwide. C. difficile exhibits extensive genetic diversity among different lineages. This study aimed to identify sequence types (STs) and clades of C. difficile isolates using multilocus sequence typing (MLST) in Iran. METHODS: A total of 37 C. difficile isolates untyped by capillary...
