A severe Clostridioides difficile ribotype 027 infection in Beijing, China, July 2024
The emergence of hypervirulent RT027 C. difficile necessitates an accurate tracing of its source. Whole genome sequencing can aid in precisely identifying origins. Although RT027 C. difficile remains primarily sporadic in China, enhanced surveillance of C. difficile and stringent hospital infection control measures is imperative.
