Clostridium difficile isolates resistant to fluoroquinolones in Italy: emergence of PCR ribotype 018.
Recent evidence strongly suggests an association between the use of fluoroquinolones and Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Resistance to fluoroquinolones has been described not only in the hypervirulent strain 027, but also in other important PCR ribotypes circulating in hospital settings. In a European prospective study conducted in 2005, strains resistant to moxifloxacin represented 37.5...

متن کاملClinical Characteristics and Treatment Outcomes of Clostridium difficile Infections by PCR Ribotype 017 and 018 Strains
The objective of this study was to identify the clinical characteristics of Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) caused by toxin A-negative/toxin B-positive (A-B+) PCR ribotype 017 (R017) and A+B+ ribotype 018 (R018) strains, prevalent in Asian countries. From February 2010 through January 2013, all CDI patients in our hospital were enrolled; their medical records were retrospectively review...
متن کاملEmergence of Clostridium difficile Ribotype 027 in Korea
BACKGROUND Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has markedly risen and is associated with hypervirulent ribotype 027 outbreaks in North America and Europe since 2003. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of ribotype 027 among C. difficile isolates in Korea, to characterize the ribotype 027 isolates, and to determine the clinical severity of CDI in patients infected with thes...
متن کاملClostridium difficile PCR Ribotype 027 Emerges in Taiwan.
Clostridium difficile PCR ribotype 027 is a hypervirulent strain that has caused significant nosocomial diarrhea in many countries but has not yet been reported or isolated in Taiwan previously. Here, we present the characteristics of a case of C. difficile PCR ribotype 027 identified in Taiwan. Taiwan is located in a key transportation center of Asia. This report is important for alerting hosp...
