Characterization of Non-Toxigenic <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> Strains Isolated from Preterm Neonates and In Vivo Study of Their Protective Effect

In a previous monocentric study in preterm neonates (PN), we described a high <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> colonization rate (74%) with two uncommon non-toxigenic strains (NTCD) belonging to PCR-ribotype (RT) (CE)847 and (CE)032. To determine the extent of carriage of both NTCD in oth...
