Journal ArticleDOI
Relapse versus reinfection with Clostridium difficile.
TL;DR: Relapse of Clostridium, difficile-associated diarrhoea occurs in 15–20% of patients; however, whether relapse is due to an endogenous source of the organism or reinfection from the environment remains unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gastrointestinal carriage of Clostridium difficile in cats and dogs attending veterinary clinics.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that household pets may be a potentially significant reservoir of infection with C. difficile.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular characterization of Clostridium difficile isolates from humans, animals and their environments.
TL;DR: It is concluded that there may still be a risk of humans acquiring C. difficile from domestic pets as these findings may be the result of geographical variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea: epidemiological data from Western Australia.
TL;DR: The introduction of Body Substance Isolation in 1989, in conjunction with other infection control procedures, appears to have halted the rise, despite a continuing use of broad-spectrum cephalosporins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-radioactive restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typing of Clostridium difficile
TL;DR: A typing method for Clostridium difficile based on restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) is described, which was comparatively simple, reproducible and readily adaptable to most bacterial genera.
