Elderly people are at increased risk for infections such as with . This can colonize their gut and cause various gastro-intestinal manifestations. Our survey investigated its prevalence in a nursing home in Iran. Faecal samples were collected and tested by polymerase chain reaction for identification of A, B and binary toxin genes. From 289 samples, 42(14.5%) isolates were found. Toxin genes were positive in 19 isolates (17 AþBþ and 2 isolates ABþ). The elderly are especially at risk and great attention should be paid to contamination within their nursing homes. This is not an isolated regional problem.
老年人感染的风险增加，例如。它可以在他们的肠道定殖，并引起各种胃肠表现。我们的调查研究了它在伊朗一家养老院的流行情况。收集粪便样本并通过聚合酶链反应进行检测，以鉴定 A、B 和双毒素基因。在 289 个样本中，发现 42 个（14.5%）分离物。19 个分离物的毒素基因呈阳性（17 个 A+B+和 2 个 AB+）。老年人尤其处于危险之中，应高度重视养老院的污染问题。这不是一个孤立的地区问题。
