The First Evidence of Epidemic Strain Clostridium Difficile (027/NAP1/BI) in Eastern Croatia
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Biochemical Technology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
A case of the first evidence of epidemic strain Clostridium difficile (027/NAP1 (BI) in a patient in Slavonia region (Eastern Croatia) is presented. Clostridium difficile infection presents the leading cause of the antibiotic-associated nosocomial diarrhea and colitis in the industrialized world. PCR-ribotype 027 is a hypervirulent strain with great epidemic potential and since 2005 spread to European countries. A study published in 2011 years did not prove the presence of ribotype 027 in Croatia.
