Molecular characterization and genotyping of isolates from cancer patients with < em > Clostridioides difficile < /em > infection or asymptomatic colonization

Conclusions. We found a clonal association between C. difficile isolates from patients with CDAC and CDI. Studies are needed to evaluate the potential role of asymptomatic carriers in the dynamics of nosocomial transmission to support infection control measures and reduce the burden of CDI in high-risk groups.PMID:37624363 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001748
