Issue Date: | 2-May-2015 | Publication information: | Anaerobe 2015; 34(): 80-3 | Abstract: | Some Australian strain types of Clostridium difficile appear unique, highlighting the global diversity of this bacterium. We examined recent and historic local isolates, finding predominantly toxinotype 0 strains, but also toxinotypes V and VIII. All isolates tested were susceptible to vancomycin and metronidazole, while moxifloxacin resistance was only detected in recent strains. | Gov't Doc #: | 25944720 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/12787 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.anaerobe.2015.05.001 | Journal: | Anaerobe | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25944720 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Clostridium difficile Clostridium difficile Australia Clostridium difficile antibiotic resistance Clostridium difficile epidemiology Clostridium difficile toxinotypes |
