Retrospective Definition of <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> PCR Ribotypes on the Basis of Whole Genome Polymorphisms: A Proof of Principle Study

<i>Clostridioides difficile</i> is a cause of health care-associated infections. The epidemiological study of <i>C. difficile</i> infection (CDI) traditionally involves PCR ribotyping. However, ribotyping will be increasingly replaced by whole genome sequencing (WGS). This im...
