Ribotyping of Clostridioides difficile in the Liberec Regional Hospital: a tertiary health care facility

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The ribotyping of Clostridioides difficile is one of the basic methods of molecular epidemiology for monitoring the spread of C. difficile infections. In the Czech Republic, this procedure is mainly available in university hospitals. The introduction of ribotyping in a tertiary health care facility such as Liberec Regional Hospital not only increases safety in the facility but also supports regional professional development. In our study, 556 stool samples collected between June 2017 and June 2018 were used for C. difficile infection screening, followed by cultivation, toxinotyping, and ribotyping of positive samples. The toxinotyping of 96 samples revealed that 44.8% of typed strains could produce toxins A and B encoded by tcdA and tcdB, respectively. The ribotyping of the same samples revealed two epidemic peaks, caused by the regionally most prevalent ribotype 176 (n = 30, 31.3). C. difficile infection incidence ranged between 5.5 and 4.2 cases per 10,000 patient-bed days. Molecular diagnostics and molecular epidemiology are the two most developing parts of clinical laboratories. The correct applications of molecular methods help ensure greater safety in hospitals.
