| Abstract | PCR ribotyping was modified to allow direct detection of Clostridium difficile from stool samples. Direct PCR ribotyping was possible in 86 out of 99 C. difficile-positive stool samples, and in 84 cases (84.8%), the ribotype determined directly from the stool sample was identical to the ribotype of the strain isolated from the same stool sample. | |
