Artículo en Inglés | IMSEAR | ID: sea-17077
ABSTRACT
An attempt was made to isolate Clostridium difficile from 129 faecal specimens from 87 young and 42 elderly healthy adults. C.difficile was isolated using bacterial culture from 7 (5.4%) specimens and the frequency of isolation of toxigenic C. difficile as detected by cytotoxin (tissue culture) assay was 1.1 per cent and 2.4 per cent in healthy young and elderly adults respectively. The carrier rate of toxigenic C. difficile amongst healthy adults is relatively low in this part of our country.
