Abstract

The dramatic change in the epidemiology of Clostridium difficile during recent years, in both frequency and severity, owing to the emergence of virulent strains like NAP1/BI/027 (North American Pulse Field type 1/Restriction Endonuclease Assay type BI/Ribotype 027) in North America ribotype 078 in Europe and ribotype 017 in Asia, has made C. difficile a public health concern. This strain was found to produce greater than 16 times toxin A and 23 times toxin B in addition to the binary toxin.
