Abstract excerpt
Clostridioides difficile is the most common cause of healthcare-associated infection worldwide. Its pathogenesis is mainly due to the production of toxins A, B, and CDT, whose genetic variants may be associated with disease severity. We studied genetic diversity in C. difficile isolates from hospitalized adults and children using different gene and genome typing methods and investigated their association with in...
