Abstract
To date, few cases of extraintestinal infection with Clostridium difficile have been reported. We describe a case of surgical-site infection with C. difficile following a colonic operation. Administration of metronidazole was considered to be effective for treatment of the infection. The isolate was a toxin A-nonproducing and toxin B-producing strain.Entities:
