Abstract

A reference library of types of Clostridium difficile has been constructed by PCR ribotyping isolates (n = 2,030) from environmental (n = 89), hospital (n = 1,386), community practitioner (n = 395), veterinary (n = 27), and reference (n = 133) sources. The library consists of 116 distinct types iden...
