  • Pojav visoko virulentnega večkratno odpornega tipa bakterije Clostridium difficile v Evropi = Emergence of a hypervirulent multiresistant type of Clostridium difficile in Europe
    Rupnik, Maja, 1967-
    A new epidemic type of Clostridium difficile has been causing outbreaks with increased disease morbidity and mortality in North America since 2001; in 2004and 2005 it was also reported in the UK, ... Netherlands and Belgium. Strains from all geographical regions are closely related andbelong to type BI/NAP1/027. Furthermore, these strains have a deletion in the regulatory genetcdC and changes in the toxin genes tcdA and tcdB; they also produce an additional, binary toxin and are resistant to fluoroquinolones. To control itsfurther spread, increases in the average infection prevalence should be monitored and fluoroquinolone use should be regarded as an important risk factor and minimized in the case of an outbreak. Moreover, diagnostic laboratories should be capable of isolating and typing C. difficile.
