摘要：

In a prospective, longitudinal study we searched for the presence of Clostridium difficile in the stools of 100 consecutively hospitalized elderly patients (mean age: 82; SD: 9.5 years). C difficile was found on admission in 6 patients, 3 of whom were asymptomatic carriers. Ten patients acquired C difficile during hospitalization. Four different pes of C difficile were isolated. The various types were clustered in time, indicating that the infection was acquired from the environment.
