Clostridium difficile Bacteremia, Taiwan1
To determine clinical characteristics and outcome of patients with Clostridium difficile bacteremia (CDB), we identified 12 patients with CDB in 2 medical centers in Taiwan; all had underlying systemic diseases. Five had gastrointestinal diseases or conditions, including pseudomembranous colitis (2 patients); 4 recalled diarrhea, but only 5 had recent exposure to antimicrobial drugs. Ten availa...
متن کاملElectrophoretic characterization of Clostridium difficile strains isolated from antibiotic-associated colitis and other conditions.
Clostridium difficile has been recognized as the cause of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis and of less severe diarrheal diseases associated with the use of antimicrobial agents. However, healthy carriers of this microorganism have been found, particularly healthy neonates and small children. Various typing systems have been used to clarify the epidemiology of C. difficile. We used...
متن کاملPrevalence and molecular characterization of Clostridium difficile isolated from European Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica) during migration
BACKGROUND Clostridium difficile is an important bacterial pathogen of humans and a variety of animal species. Birds, especially migratory passerine species, can play a role in the spread of many pathogens, including Clostridium difficile. Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica) nest in close proximity to human habitats and their biology is closely associated with cattle farming. Therefore, we hypothes...
متن کاملIsolation, Molecular Characterization and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Pasteurella multocida Isolated from Cattle and Buffalo from Ahwaz, Iran
Pasteurella multocida is a gram-negative, opportunistic pathogen and the common inhabitant of the upper respiratory tract of domesticated and wild animal species. It is a causative agent of numerous economically important diseases worldwide, such as enzootic bronchopneumonia in ruminants and haemorrhagic septicemia in cattle and buffalo. The present study was undertaken to determine the prevale...
متن کاملMolecular Analysis of Toxigenic Clostridium difficile Isolates from Hospital Environment by PCR Ribotyping Method
Background and Aims: Clostridium difficile is an identified cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, antibiotic-associated colitis, pseudomembranous colitis and nosocomial diarrhea. The objective of this survey was to determine molecular analysis of toxigenic Clostridium difficile isolates from hospital environment in Tehran tertiary medical centers. Materials and Methods: In this descriptiv...
