Abstract
Clindamycin-Resistant Clone of<i>Clostridium difficile</i>PCR Ribotype 027, Europe
Highlights
We reported a case of C. difficile PCR 027 in Ireland, where the isolate had an identical antibiogram profile compared with those strains reported across Europe [6,7]
We have subsequently identified C. difficile 027 in 6 more healthcare settings
To date >100 Irish C. difficile 027 isolates have been characterized by analysis of their antibiogram profiles, toxinotyping, and 16S–23S rDNA PCR ribotyping
Summary
5. Fournier PE, Siritantikorn S, Rolain JM, Suputtamongkol Y, Hoontrakul S, Charoenwat S, et al Detection of new genotypes of Orientia tsutsugamushi infecting humans in Thailand. 6. Blacksell SD, Luksameetanasan R, Kalambaheti T, Aukkanit N, Paris DH, McGready R, et al Genetic typing of the 56-kDa type-specific antigen gene of contemporary Orientia tsutsugamushi isolates causing human scrub typhus at two sites in north-eastern and western Thailand. We reported a case of C. difficile PCR 027 in Ireland, where the isolate had an identical antibiogram profile compared with those strains reported across Europe [6,7] (i.e., resistant to fluoroquinolones and erythromycin, susceptible to clindamycin).
