Evidence to support the existence of subgroups within the UK epidemic Clostridium difficile strain (PCR ribotype 1).

W N Fawley1, J Freeman, M H Wilcox.   

Abstract

We used three different DNA fingerprinting techniques and clindamycin susceptibility testing to confirm that Clostridium difficile PCR ribotype I isolates can be divided into two subclones. This observation may permit a better understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenicity of C. difficile infection.
