Abstract excerpt
To develop a rapid and accurate method of typing large numbers of clinical isolates of Clostridium difficile, four regions of the rRNA operon [A, 15-1407 and B, 907-1407 (16S-16S); C, 1392-507 and D, 907-507 (16S-23S)] were enzymically amplified from 24 strains. When region A was hybridized to HindIII-digested genomic DNA isolated from C. difficile strains, all of the variable length restriction fragments...
