Abstract
Thirty-five different PCR ribotypes were identified. The most common RTs identified were: 181 (36%, 80/221), 017 (10%, 21/221), 126 (9%, 19/221), 078 (4%, 9/221) and 012 (4%, 8/221). Notably, the predominant RT181, with toxin profile tcdA + tcdB + cdtA + cdtB+, was identified in seven out of ten participating hospitals.
