摘要
Totals of 102 and 56 Clostridium difficile type 078 strains of human and porcine origins, respectively, from four European countries were investigated by an optimized multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) and for tetracycline susceptibility. Eighty-five percent of all isolates were genetically related, irrespective of human or porcine origin. Human strains were significantly more resistant to tetracycline than porcine strains. All tetracycline-resistant strains contained the Tn916-like transposon harboring the tet(M) gene. We conclude that strains from human and porcine origins are genetically related, irrespective of the country of origin. This may reflect a lack of diversity and/or common source.
