Epidemiology and Molecular Characterization of Clostridium difficile Strains from Patients with Diarrhea: Low Disease Incidence and Evidence of Limited Cross-Infection in a Swedish Teaching Hospital

We prospectively studied the epidemiology of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) in a 900-bed hospital over the course of 12 months by PCR-ribotyping of C. difficile isolates. A total of 304 cases were diagnosed, corresponding to an overall incidence of 7/1,000 admissions, with higher r...
