A(-)B(+)Clostridium difficile strains are prevalent in Korea. We performed pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), polymerase chain reaction ribotyping, and toxinotyping in 82 A(-)B(+) clinical isolates in Korea. PFGE showed highest discriminatory capability among the 3 methods. By PFGE, persistence of a clone was found, suggesting this clone has adapted to the hospital environment.
韩国流行 A(-)B(+)艰难梭菌菌株。我们对韩国 82 株 A(-)B(+)临床分离株进行了脉冲场凝胶电泳(PFGE)、聚合酶链反应核糖体分型和毒素定型。PFGE 在这 3 种方法中显示出最高的分辨能力。通过 PFGE,发现了一个克隆的持续存在,表明这个克隆已经适应了医院环境。
