The emergence of Clostridium difficile PCR-ribotype 001 in Slovakia

Original language description

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) and to characterise the isolates in 14 departments of ten academic hospitals in Slovakia. Methods During a one-month study (September 2012) all unformed stool samples were investigated using a rapid test to detect the presence of GDH and toxins A/B. Positive samples were cultured anaerobically and C. difficile isolates were characterised by ribotyping, multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeatsanalysis, and gyrA, rpoB and ermB investigation. Results A total of 194 unformed stool samples were investigated and 38 (19.6 %) had a positive rapid test. Of 38 samples, 27 revealed a positive result for GDH and free toxins A/B in the stool, and 11 samples only for the presence of GDH. The mean CDI incidence in 2012 was 5.2 cases per 10,000 patient bed-days. Twenty C. difficile isolates were available for molecular analysis; seventeen belonged to PCR-ribotype 001 (85 %) whereas the rema
