Diverse sources of C. difficile infection identified on whole-genome sequencing.
BACKGROUND: It has been thought that Clostridium difficile infection is transmitted predominantly within health care settings. However, endemic spread has hampered identification of precise sources of infection and the assessment of the efficacy of interventions. METHODS: From September 2007 through...
