Ribotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of clinical Clostridioides difficile isolates: A multicenter, laboratory-based surveillance in Taiwan, 2019-2021

CONCLUSIONS: Vancomycin, fidaxomicin, and metronidazole remain in vitro effective against clinical C. difficile isolates in Taiwan. The reservoirs and genetic relatedness of two major RTs with zoonotic potentials, RT 078/126 and 014/020, warrant further investigations.PMID:38135646 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmii.2023.12.004
