Abstract
⺠Feed filtering molluscs concentrate pathogenic microorganisms occurring in seawater. ⺠Bivalve molluscs accumulate pathogens of human and animal origin. ⺠A high number of molluscs analyzed was contaminated with Clostridium difficile. ⺠Fifty eight % of the isolated C. difficile strains was toxigenic. ⺠Seafood could represent a potential source of exposure to toxigenic C. difficile.
