Asymptomatic Clostridium difficile colonisation and onward transmission

Asymptomatic Clostridium difficile colonisation and onward transmission

Combined genotyping/whole genome sequencing and epidemiological data suggest that in endemic settings only a minority of Clostridium difficile infection, CDI, is acquired from other cases. Asymptomatic patients are a potential source for many unexplained cases. Methods We prospectively screened a co...
