EPIDEMIC RIBOTYPES OF CLOSTRIDIUM (NOW CLOSTRIDIOIDES) DIFFICILE ARE LIKELY TO BE MORE VIRULENT THAN NON-EPIDEMIC RIBOTYPES IN ANIMAL MODELS

2020-01-14

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> Background . Clostridioides difficile infections have become more frequently diagnosed and associated with greater disease severity, which has resulted in an increase burden on the healthcare system. These increases are attributed to the increased prevalence of hypervirulent strains encompassing select ribotypes. These epidemic ribotypes were characterized as hypervirulent due to higher...
