Application of typing by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to the study of Clostridium difficile in a neonatal intensive care unit

1 Sept 1994

Abstract excerpt

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis of restriction pattern polymorphism was applied to type Clostridium difficile isolated from neonates hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit, and the results were compared with those of immunoblot analysis. C. difficile was isolated from fecal specimens of 41 (61%) of 67 neonates during a 5-month investigation. All of these neonates were asymptomatic....
