目的调查区域性的艰难梭菌基因型分布和毒素A、B的携带情况。方法 68株艰难梭菌临床菌株收集自悉尼大学韦斯特米德医院,利用PCR-核糖体分型技术进行基因分型,利用PCR方法检测毒素A、B编码基因tcdA、tcdB。结果 68株菌可分为31种核糖体型(RT),最常见的为RT014(19.1%)和RT002(11.8%);94.1%(64株)的菌株tcdA、tcdB均为阳性。结论悉尼地区主要流行的艰难梭菌基因型为RT014和RT002,绝大部分临床菌株均携带毒素A、B。
Objective To investigate the genotype and production of toxin A and B of C .difficile clinical isolates collected from Sydney ,Australia .Methods Sixty‐eight C .difficile clinical isolates were collected from Westmead Hospital ,the University of Sydney ,which were genotyped by using PCR‐ribotyping ,and toxin A ,B coding gene tcdA ,tcdB were detected by using PCR meth‐od .Results Thirty‐one PCR‐ribotypes (RTs) were confirmed in the 68 C .difficile clinical isolates ,RT014 (19 .1% ) and RT002 (11 .8% ) were the common genotypes .Sixty‐four of 68 (94 .1% ) isolates contained tcdA and tcdB for toxin A and B .Conclusion The common prevalent PCR‐ribotypes of C .difficile were RT014 and RT002 in Sydney ,most of the C .difficile clinical isolates contained toxin A and B .
