Molecular epidemiology of Clostridium difficile at a medical center in Taiwan: persistence of genetically clustering of A⁻B⁺ isolates and increase of A⁺B⁺ isolates.

Molecular epidemiology of Clostridium difficile at a medical center in Taiwan: persistence of genetically clustering of A⁻B⁺ isolates and increase of A⁺B⁺ isolates.

<h4>Introduction</h4>We investigated the changing trend of various toxigenic Clostridium difficile isolates at a 3 500-bed hospital in Taiwan. Genetic relatedness and antimicrobial susceptibility of toxigenic C. difficile isolates were also examined.<h4>Methods</h4>A total of...
