Abstract

Clostridium difficile is a spore-forming toxigenic obligate anaerobe that often causes C. difficile-associated diarrhea disease (CDAD) after the use of an antibacterial agent.

In the present study, we investigated clinical isolates to establish gene analysis (toxin and DNA types) required for epidemiological studies of nosocomial infections.
