Clostridium difficile is a gram-positive bacterium notorious for causing epidemic diarrhea globally with a significant health burden. The pathogen is clinically challenging with increasing antibiotic resistance and recurrence rate. We provide here an in-depth review of one particular strain/ribotype 027, commonly known as NAP1/B1/027 or North American pulsed-field gel electrophoresis type 1, restriction endonuclease analysis type B1, polymerase chain reaction ribotype 027, which has shown a much higher recurrence rate than other strains.
艰难梭菌是一种革兰氏阳性细菌,因其在全球范围内引发流行性腹泻并造成重大健康负担而臭名昭著。随着抗生素耐药性和复发率的增加,这种病原体在临床上具有挑战性。我们在此对一种特定菌株/核糖型027进行深入综述,该菌株通常被称为NAP1/B1/027或北美脉冲场凝胶电泳1型、限制性内切酶分析B1型、聚合酶链反应核糖型027,其复发率比其他菌株高得多。
