Title: Clostridium difficile ribotypes - interaction with hosts and environments
Speaker: Maja Rupnik
Affiliation: University of Maribor, Faculty of Medicine, Maribor, Slovenia
Host: Adriano O. Henriques - Microbial Development Lab
Abstract:
C. difficile was known mainly as nosocomial human pathogen. However, it is emerging also as important community associated pathogen and as an animal pathogen. This indicates other important possible reservoirs outside the hospital. Results on epidemiological approaches in Slovenia (where and how to look for C. difficile),international animal C. difficile collection, and studies on human and animal microbiota will be presented.
