Abstract

ABSTRACTWe noted that some Clostridium difficileisolates are nonrecoverable after frozen storage and so used molecular typing analysis to characterize DNA from these strains. The recovery rate of C. difficilePCR ribotype 1 was statistically significantly greater than that of other strains. This observation has implications for C. difficileepidemiological studies.
