![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Distinct ribotypes and rates of antimicrobial drug resistance in Clostridium difficile from Shanghai and Stockholm Distinct ribotypes and rates of antimicrobial drug resistance in Clostridium difficile from Shanghai and Stockholm](/preview/png/3397628.png)
Seventy-five clinical isolates of Clostridium difficile from Shanghai and 80 from Stockholm were investigated. The prevalence of toxin A-negative, toxin B-positive isolates of C. difficile among isolates from Shanghai (33.3%) was significantly higher than among isolates from Stockholm (0%). Both sets of isolates were fully susceptible to metronidazole and vancomycin. However, the MICs of fluoroquinolones, erythromycin–clindamycin, tetracycline, rifampin and fusidic acid were significantly higher for the Shanghai isolates than for the Stockholm isolates. Thirty-three PCR ribotypes were identified; a dominant clone, 017, accounted for 18.7% of Shanghai isolates, whereas clone 005 dominated among Stockholm isolates, accounting for 11.3%. Strains 027 and 078 were not detected. No outbreak occurred during the study period.
