Abstract

In a 1-year survey at a university hospital we found that 20.6% (81/392) of patients with antibiotic associated diarrohea where positive for C. difficile. The most common PCR ribotypes were 012 (14.8%), 027 (12.3%), 046 (12.3%) and 014/020 (9.9). The incidence rate was 2.6 cases of C. difficile infection for every 1000 outpatients.
