Genomic surveillance of <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> transmission and virulence in a healthcare setting

2023-09-26

Abstract excerpt

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a major cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea, despite the widespread implementation of contact precautions for patients with CDI. Here, we investigate strain contamination in a hospital setting and genomic determinants of disease outcomes. Across two wards over six months, we selectively cultured C. difficile from patients (n=384) and their environments. Whole-genome...
