TL;DR: Although PCR ribotype 078 is often reported as the major animal C. difficile type, especially in pigs, the variability of strains in pigs and other animal hosts is substantial and most common human PCR ribotypes (014/020 and 002) are also among most prevalent animal associated C.difficile strains worldwide.

Cristina Rodriguez Diaz,Nicolas Korsak Koulagenko,Bernard Taminiau,Véronique Avesani,Johan Van Broeck,Michel Delmée,Georges Daube +6 more
