Abstract

We used three different DNA fingerprinting techniques and clindamycin susceptibility testing to confirm that Clostridium difficile PCR ribotype I isolates can be divided into two subclones. This observation may permit a better understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenicity of C. difficile infection.
