The research found that less than one in five cases of the so called 'hospital superbug' were likely to have been caught from other hospital cases of C.diff, where the focus of infection control measures has been.
By assessing the genetic variation between C.diff cases, the team identified those cases that were matched and were likely to be linked. By adding hospital records and the community movements of each case, they worked out if that transmission was likely to have happened as a result of hospital or patient contact.
Researchers Show How Antibiotics Enable Pathogenic Gut Infections
At the Stanford University School of Medicine, a new study by researchers could help pinpoint ways to counter the effects of the antibiotics-driven depletion of friendly, gut-dwelling bacteria.
