Abstract Background Although pediatric Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) are increasing,
C. difficile transmission patterns among children are poorly understood. Methods We …

OBJECTIVEThe molecular epidemiology of pediatric Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is
poorly understood. We aimed to identify the restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) groups …

Abstract Background The incidence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) has been rising
among hospitalized children, with poor understanding of genomic variability of C. difficile …

Background No study has used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate risk factors
for Clostridium difficile (CD) transmission between cases, or assessed the impact of recent …

Background. Little is known about pediatric Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) epidemiology.
We describe the clinical and microbiological characteristics of CDI among hospitalized …

Background Whole genome sequencing (WGS) studies can enhance our understanding of
the role of patients with asymptomatic Clostridium difficile colonization in transmission …

OBJECTIVE: Little is known about the epidemiology of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI)
among children, particularly children≤ 3 years of age in whom colonization is common but …

Background Clostridium difficile strain DH/NAP11/106, a relatively antibiotic-susceptible
strain, is now the most common cause of C. difficile infection (CDI) among adults in the USA …

Abstract Aims To investigate if Clostridium (Clostridioides) difficile infection (CDI),
traditionally thought of as hospital‐acquired, can be genomically linked to hospital or …

Background It has been thought that Clostridium difficile infection is transmitted
predominantly within health care settings. However, endemic spread has hampered …
