Clostridium difficile PCR ribotype 078: an emerging strain in humans and in pigs?

In a recent paper, Keel and colleagues concluded that Clostridium difficile PCR ribotype 078 was the most common PCR ribotype among isolates from swine (83% of 119 isolates) and isolates from calves (94% of 33 isolates) in The United States (1). In contrast, only 1 of 23 human isolates collected from two hospitals belonged to type 078. The recent finding of Songer et al. that type 078 is freque...

Subboiling Moist Heat Favors the Selection of Enteric Pathogen Clostridium difficile PCR Ribotype 078 Spores in Food

Emerging enteric pathogens could have not only more antibiotic resistance or virulence traits; they could also have increased resistance to heat. We quantified the effects of minimum recommended cooking and higher temperatures, individually on a collection of C. difficile isolates and on the survival probability of a mixture of emerging C. difficile strains. While minimum recommended cooking ti...

Cross-sectional study reveals high prevalence of Clostridium difficile non-PCR ribotype 078 strains in Australian veal calves at slaughter.

Recent reports in North America and Europe of Clostridium difficile being isolated from livestock and retail meats of bovine origin have raised concerns about the risk to public health. To assess the situation in Australia, we investigated the prevalence and genetic diversity of C. difficile in adult cattle and calves at slaughter. Carcass washings, gastrointestinal contents, and feces were col...

First Australian isolation of epidemic Clostridium difficile PCR ribotype 027.

We report the first isolation in Australia of a hypervirulent epidemic strain of Clostridium difficile, PCR ribotype 027. It was isolated from a 43-year-old woman with a permanent ileostomy, who appears to have been infected while travelling in the United States. The isolate was positive for toxin A, toxin B and binary toxin, and resistant to fluoroquinolone antimicrobials, and had characterist...
