The recent emergence of a highly related virulent Clostridium difficile clade with unique characteristics
OBJECTIVES: Clostridium difficile is a major global human pathogen divided into five clades, of which clade 3 is the least characterized and consists predominantly of PCR ribotype (RT) 023 strains. Our aim was to analyse and characterize this clade. METHODS: In this cohort study the clinical present...
