Molecular analysis of Clostridium difficile (28 isolates) from children (n = 128) in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, identified eight toxigenic genotypes. Six of these were isolated from 27% of concurrent adult C. difficile-associated infections studied (n = 83). No children carried hypervirulent PCR ribotype 027. Children could participate in the transmission of some adult disease-causing genotypes.
对英国牛津郡(Oxfordshire)的 128 例儿童(n=128)中分离的 28 株艰难梭菌(Clostridium difficile)(28 株艰难梭菌)进行分子分析,鉴定出 8 种产毒基因型。其中 6 种从同时研究的 83 例成人艰难梭菌相关性感染(n=83)中的 27%中分离出来。没有儿童携带高毒力 PCR 核糖型 027。儿童可能参与了一些成人致病基因型的传播。
