INTRODUCTION
Limited data exist on patient factors related to environmental contamination with Clostridium difficile.
METHODS
We evaluated the association between the functional status of patients with C. difficile infection (CDI) and environmental contamination with C. difficile.
RESULTS
Contamination of patient rooms was frequent and higher functional status was associated with contaminated surfaces remote from the bed. All but one environmental isolates matched the corresponding patient's stool isolate for the seven patients tested.
CONCLUSION
Functional status is a factor that influences environmental contamination with C. difficile. Future studies should evaluate strategies to reduce contamination in CDI patient rooms, taking into account the patient's functional status.
引言
关于与艰难梭菌环境污染相关的患者因素的数据有限。
方法
我们评估了艰难梭菌感染（CDI）患者的功能状态与艰难梭菌环境污染之间的关联。
结果
病房污染情况常见，功能状态较高与远离病床的污染表面有关。在接受检测的7名患者中，除1例之外，所有环境分离株均与相应患者的粪便分离株匹配。
结论
功能状态是影响艰难梭菌环境污染的一个因素。未来的研究应考虑患者的功能状态，评估减少CDI患者病房污染的策略。
