Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> We report a patient case with pseudomembranous colitis associated with a mono-toxin producing Clostridioides difficile belonging to the very rarely diagnosed PCR ribotype (RT) 151. The infection was difficult to diagnose, since the isolate and the feces sample tested negative for toxin-encoding genes using a routine commercial test. This prompted us to sequence n = 11 RT151s from various geogra...
