Molecular characteristics, clonal transmission, and risk factors of clostridioides difficile among hospitalized patients in a tertiary hospital in ningbo, china

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The study provided the first genomic evidence of C. difficile ST35 among different floors and buildings within the hospital. The antibiotic resistance pattern in this study showed that the rates of resistance to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and tetracycline were significantly lower than data from the previous study (Jin et_al, 2017).
