Clostridium difficile A+ B+ and A- B+ strains isolated from stool samples of patients with C. difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD) were selected from the University Hospital Warsaw collection. The binary-toxin genes cdtA and cdtB were detected by PCR in five of the 41 A+ B+ strains tested, but in none of the 17 A- B+ strains tested, giving 8.6 % prevalence (5/58) of binary-toxin-positive strains. All of the strains that were positive for binary-toxin genes were grouped into toxinotype IV, suggesting that in this institution toxinotype IV might dominate among the population of C. difficile with binary-toxin genes.
从华沙大学医院收集的艰难梭菌相关性腹泻(CDAD)患者粪便样本中分离出艰难梭菌A + B +和A - B +菌株。在检测的41株A + B +菌株中,有5株通过PCR检测到二元毒素基因cdtA和cdtB,但在检测的17株A - B +菌株中均未检测到,二元毒素阳性菌株的患病率为8.6%(5/58)。所有二元毒素基因呈阳性的菌株均归为毒素型IV,这表明在该机构中,具有二元毒素基因的艰难梭菌群体中可能以毒素型IV为主。
