Epidemiology of Recurrences or Reinfections of Clostridium difficile-Associated Diarrhea
Barbut, Frédéric, Richard, Anne, Hamadi, Kheira, Chomette, Valérie, Burghoffer, Béatrice, Petit, Jean-Claude
Approximately 15 to 35% of patients with a first episode of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea relapse within 2 months. Between 1994 and 1997, strains from 93 hospitalized patients with C....

Clostridium difficile is now recognized as the major agent responsible for nosocomial diarrhea in adults. Among the genotyping methods available, arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR), PCR-ribotyping, and...

Glycopeptides (vancomycin and teicoplanin) and metronidazole are the drugs of choice for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infections, but trends in susceptibility patterns have not been...

A total of 198 nonrepetitive clinical strains of Clostridium difficile isolated from different French hospitals in 1991 (n = 100) and 1997 (n = 98) were screened for decreased susceptibility to...

Toxin A variant strains (toxin A-negative, toxin B-positive strains) of Clostridium difficile have been reported to be responsible for diarrhea or pseudomembranous colitis in humans. These strains...

In addition to the two large clostridial cytotoxins (TcdA and TcdB), some strains of Clostridium difficile also produce an actin-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase, called binary toxin CDT. We used a...
