A role for tetracycline selection in the evolution of <i>Clostridium difficile</i> PCR-ribotype 078

2018-02-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Farm animals have been identified as reservoirs of Clostridium difficile PCR-ribotype 078 (RT078). Since 2005, the incidence of human clinical cases (frequently severe), with this genotype has increased. We aimed to understand this change, by studying the recent evolutionary history of RT078. Phylogenetic analysis of international genomes (isolates from 2006–2014) revealed several recent clonal...
