Clostridium difficile was isolated from 12 (20%) of 60 retail ground meat samples purchased over a 10-month period in 2005 in Canada. Eleven isolates were toxigenic, and 8 (67%) were classified as toxinotype III. The human health implications of this finding are unclear, but with the virulence of toxinotype III strains further studies are required.
2005年在加拿大,从10个月内购买的60份零售绞碎肉样本中的12份(20%)分离出了艰难梭菌。11株分离株产毒,其中8株(67%)被归类为毒素型III。这一发现对人类健康的影响尚不清楚,但鉴于毒素型III菌株的毒力,还需要进一步研究。
