Epidemiologic trends in Clostridioides difficile isolate ribotypes in United States from 2011 to 2016.

CONCLUSIONS: The frequency of ribotypes in the US has changed with a marked decline in 027. Each of the geographical areas had variations which differed from each other, but collectively, these results suggest that the changing epidemiology of C. difficile in the US is consistent with what is being seen in Europe. Continued surveillance and monitoring of changes in ribotype distributions of C. difficile are warranted. PMID: 32387171 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
