Here, we evaluated the frequency of C. difficile colonization and its impact on clinical outcomes in patients admitted to intensive care units in Brazil. From ninety-two patients screened 16 (17.3%) were colonized by C. difficile. Colonized patients had higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score III (SAPS III), however there was no association between C. difficile colonization with diarrhea or mortality. The C. difficile strains sequenced belonged to clade 1 and presented high vancomycin-resistant rates.
