摘要：

The objective of this study was to isolate and characterize Clostridium difficile strains in stool samples from a wild urban mammal, a South American coati (Nasua nasua) in Brazil. Forty-six free-living N. nasua were trapped, and stool samples were collected. C difficile was isolated from three (6.5%) sampled animals, two strains were toxigenic (A(+)B(+)CDT(-), PCR ribotype 014/020 and 106) and one was non toxigenic (A(-)B(-)CDT(-), PCR ribotype 053). The present work confirms that ring-tailed coati (N. nasua) could harbor C. difficile strains, including those PCR ribotypes commonly reported in C difficile infection in humans.
