Whole genome sequencing of Clostridioides difficile PCR ribotype 046 suggests transmission between pigs and humans.

Whole genome sequencing of Clostridioides difficile PCR ribotype 046 suggests transmission between pigs and humans.

<h4>Background</h4>A zoonotic association has been suggested for several PCR ribotypes (RTs) of Clostridioides difficile. In central parts of Sweden, RT046 was found dominant in neonatal pigs at the same time as a RT046 hospital C. difficile infection (CDI) outbreak occurred in the south...
