Toxigenic Clostridium difficile PCR ribotypes from wastewater treatment plants in southern Switzerland.
The occurrence of Clostridium difficile in nine wastewater treatment plants in the Ticino Canton (southern Switzerland) was investigated. The samples were collected from raw sewage influents and from treated effluents. Forty-seven out of 55 characterized C. difficile strains belonged to 13 different reference PCR ribotypes (009, 010, 014, 015, 039, 052, 053, 066, 070, 078, 101, 106, and 117), w...

متن کاملTitle: Prevalence of PCR ribotypes among Clostridium difficile isolates from pigs, calves and other species Running Title: PCR ribotypes of Clostridium difficile isolates
PCR ribotypes were obtained for 144 Clostridium difficile isolates from neonatal pigs. Porcine isolates comprised four PCR ribotypes but one, ribotype 078, predominated (83%). This was also the most common ribotype (94%) among 33 calf isolates, but was rarely identified in other species. Numerous epidemiologic investigations of human Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD) have employed...
متن کاملClostridium difficile ribotypes in humans and animals in Brazil
Clostridium difficile is an emerging enteropathogen responsible for pseudomembranous colitis in humans and diarrhoea in several domestic and wild animal species. Despite its known importance, there are few studies about C. difficile polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ribotypes in Brazil and the actual knowledge is restricted to studies on human isolates. The aim of the study was therefore to compa...
متن کاملActivity of vancomycin against epidemic Clostridium difficile strains in a human gut model.
OBJECTIVES Vancomycin and metronidazole remain the only primary options for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Recent reports have suggested a superior clinical response to vancomycin therapy compared with metronidazole, but this has been difficult to prove or explain. There are few robust in vitro data of the effects of antibiotic treatment of CDI in a gut reflective setti...
