A global to local genomics analysis of <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> ST1/RT027 identifies cryptic transmission events in a northern Arizona healthcare network

2019-02-08

Abstract excerpt

Clostridioides difficile is a ubiquitous, diarrheagenic pathogen often associated with healthcare-acquired infections that can cause a range of symptoms from mild, self-limiting disease to toxic megacolon and death. Since the early 2000s, a large proportion of C. difficile cases have been attributed to the ribotype 027 (RT027) lineage, which is associated with sequence type 1 (ST1) in the C. difficile multilocus...
