To determine the presence of Clostridium difficile, we sampled cooked and uncooked meat products sold in Tucson, Arizona. Forty-two percent contained toxigenic C. difficile strains (either ribotype 078/toxinotype V [73%] or 027/toxinotype III [NAP1 or NAP1-related; 27%]). These findings indicate that food products may play a role in interspecies C. difficile transmission.
为了确定艰难梭菌的存在情况,我们对在亚利桑那州图森市销售的熟肉和生肉产品进行了采样。42%的产品含有产毒艰难梭菌菌株(ribotype 078/toxinotype V [73%]或027/toxinotype III [NAP1或与NAP1相关;27%])。这些发现表明食品可能在艰难梭菌的种间传播中起作用。
