1952. Evaluation of Relapse and Reinfection Using Whole-Genome Sequencing of Clostridium difficile Isolates From Elderly Patients With C. difficile Infection (CDI) in the EXTEND Randomized, Controlled, Comparative Study of Extended-Pulsed Fidaxomicin and Vancomycin for the Treatment of CDI

BACKGROUND: The EXTEND study demonstrated reduced 90-day recurrence rates for an extended-pulsed regimen of fidaxomicin (EPFX) vs. standard vancomycin (SV) in the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI): treatment difference −13%, P = 0.00073.(1) Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is used to d...
