| [antimicrobial susceptibilities and molecular characterization of toxin-positive clostridium difficile isolates: the first report on the presence of hypervirulent strains from turkey]. | clostridium difficile infection is one of the most important hospital-acquired infections. infections caused by hypervirulent c.difficile strains which produce toxins at high levels, have higher morbidity and mortality rates, more complications and relapses. they are characterized by higher sporulation ratios and resistance rates for fluoroquinolones. in order to prevent serious morbidities, mortalities and remarkable increase in health costs, highly pathogenic c.difficile strains must be identi ... | 2017 | 28929960 |
