Ribotype variability of Clostridioides difficile strains in patients with hospital-acquired C. difficile infections, community-acquired C. difficile infections, and colonization with toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains of C. difficile.

In conclusion, although RT017 and RT018 were the most common in HA-CDI and toxigenic colonization, C. difficile strains from toxigenic colonization were more diverse than those from HA-CDI. PMID: 31404682 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
