Genetic relatedness, Virulence factors and Antimicrobial Resistance of C. difficile strains from hospitalized patients in a multicentric study in Brazil

Background: Clostridium (Clostridioides) difficile infection (CDI) is recognized worldwide as a public health concern, related mainly with hypervirulent strains. In Brazil there are few studies about molecular epidemiology of C. difficile, for this reason, we aimed to characterize C. difficile isola...
