Complete Genome Sequencing and Comparative Phenotypic Analysis Reveal the Discrepancy Between Clostridioides difficile ST81 and ST37 Isolates

Toxin A-negative, toxin B-positive Clostridioides difficile strains, which primarily include the ST81 and ST37 genotypes, are predominant in C. difficile infections leading to antibiotic-associated diarrhea in China. Recently, ST81 has been reported as the most prevalent genotype rather than ST37, a...
