Résumé
Here, we assessed the utility of a polymerase chain reaction-based open reading frame typing assay for investigating the clonality of Clostridioides difficile isolates. This assay has a higher discriminatory power than multi-locus sequence typing for molecular epidemiological analysis of C. difficile isolates and can provide additional information about toxin genotypes.
