Microevolutionary analysis of Clostridium difficile genomes to investigate transmission
- Abstract:
-
Background: The control of Clostridium difficile infection is a major international healthcare priority, hindered by a limited understanding of transmission epidemiology for these bacteria. However, transmission studies of bacterial pathogens are rapidly being transformed by the advent of next generation sequencing.

Results: Here we sequence whole C. difficile genomes from 486 cases arising over four years in Oxfordshire. We show that we can...
