Abstract: A ocorrência de Clostridium difficile foi analisada em amostras de fezes de 175 crianças com idade variando de 1 a 35 meses. Para o isolamento primário do microrganismo foi empregado o meio de cultura seletivo diferencial "CCFA" (cicloserina-cefoxitina-frutose-agar). Num grupo de 67 crianças sem distúrbios gastrintestinais e que não estavam sob uso de agentes antimicrobianos a ocorrência do C. difficile foi de 22,4%, enquanto que num outro grupo de 28 crianças nas mesmas condições, porém, sob tratamento com an… Show more

“…In Brazil, there are few epidemiological studies involving this pathogen as a cause of diarrhea in children [4, 8]. Since a stool sample harbored the profile of toxigenicity tcdA+/tcdB− and another cdtA+/cdtB+ , it suggested a low circulation of toxigenic C. difficile in Brazilian children, and the acute diarrhea in children could have been caused by other enteropathogens than C. difficile , like typical viral or bacterial pathogens, such as Norovirus , Rotavirus , Salmonella , or Campylobacter , and this needs to be investigated.…”
