Abstract

ABSTRACT In a case-control study of patients with C. difficile infection we found no statistically significant association between the presence of trehalose utilization variants in infecting C. difficile strains and development of severe infection. These results do not support trehalose utilization conferring enhanced virulence in the context of human C. difficile infections.
