High Prevalence of Genetically Related Clostridium Difficile Strains at a Single Hemato-Oncology Ward Over 10 Years

High Prevalence of Genetically Related Clostridium Difficile Strains at a Single Hemato-Oncology Ward Over 10 Years

Aims:Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection (CDI) is the main cause of healthcare-associated infectious diarrhea. We used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to measure the prevalence and genetic variability of C. difficile at a single hemato-oncology ward over a 10 year period.Methods: Between 20...
