Penicillin Binding Protein Substitutions Co-occur with Fluoroquinolone Resistance in ‘Epidemic’ Lineages of Multi Drug-Resistant <i>Clostridioides difficile</i>

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Clostridioides difficile remains a key cause of healthcare-associated infection, with multi-drug-resistant (MDR) lineages causing high mortality (≥20%) outbreaks. Cephalosporin treatment is a long-established risk factor, and antimicrobial stewardship a key control. A mechanism underlying raised cephalosporin MICs has not been identified in C. difficile , but among other species resistance is o...
