The emergence of metronidazole and vancomycin reduced susceptibility in Clostridium difficile isolates in Iran

ConclusionsMultidrug resistance was observed in Iranian clinical toxigenic C. difficile isolates, including reduced susceptibility to first-line CDI treatment drugs. In addition, disk diffusion can be used as a cost-effective option for the antimicrobial susceptibility testing of C. difficile isolates.
