Genotypic Correlation between Cases of Clostridium difficile (CDI) with Community-Onset Diagnosis after Recent Hospital Discharge and Their Prior Unit-Based Contacts
BACKGROUND: The incubation period of C. difficile infection (CDI) is highly variable. Infections may be diagnosed weeks after initial acquisition of bacterial spores. Such cases of CDI have onset in the community after a recent hospitalization, or upon readmission, and are characterized as community...
