摘要：

The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxigenic status of circulating strains of Clostridium difficile in a large teaching hospital. Overall 220 isolates were studied of which 199 (90.5%) produced both large clostridial toxins detected by conventional methods. Ten more strains (4.5%) had toxin A and B genes detectable by PCR. Eleven (5.0%) variant strains (A(-)B(-)) were detected among the isolates studied and 10 strains (4.5%) had the binary toxin genes (cdtA and cdtB).
