Genome-Based Infection Tracking Reveals Dynamics of Clostridium difficile Transmission and Disease Recurrence
Background. Accurate tracking of Clostridium difficile transmission within healthcare settings is key to its containment but is hindered by the lack of discriminatory power of standard genotyping methods. We describe a whole-genome phylogenetic-based method to track the transmission of individual cl...
