Abstract
<i>Clostridium difficile</i>Infection Associated with Pig Farms
Highlights
To the Editor: Clostridium difficile of PCR ribotype 078 causes enteric disease in humans and pigs (1,2); a recent pan-European study revealed that this type was the third most frequently found type of C. difficile (1)
Because C. difficile can be detected in the immediate environment of pig farms, we investigated intestinal colonization with C. difficile in pigs and in pig farmers, their relatives, and their employees in the Netherlands
Fecal samples from humans and from animal wards were cultured for the presence of toxinogenic C. difficile by using previously described methods (1,3,4)
