Novel Molecular Type of Clostridium difficile in Neonatal Pigs, Western Australia	2013-05-17		.txt	text/plain	1593	91	53	Clostridium difficile causes neonatal enteritis in piglets; strains of PCR ribotype 078 are most commonly identified. difficile prevalence in piglets in Australia and isolated a novel strain with a unique pathogenicity locus. C lostridium difficile is the causative agent of severe enteritis ("scouring") in neonatal piglets 1-7 days of age throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe (1) . difficile isolates that cause disease in humans and production animals overlap, particularly PCR ribotype 078, which predominates in pigs worldwide. difficile strains in piglets in Australia are different from those found in the rest of the world because of Australia's geographic isolation, strict quarantine laws regarding importation of livestock, and low human population and pig density. difficile strain circulating in piglets in Australia is of a different ribotype, 237, than that commonly found in other parts of the world.
