Two-year Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile recurrences in a boy with ulcerative colitis are described. Isolates were toxin A/B positive and nonhypervirulent, and resistotypes of 2017 isolates differed from those in 2016, suggesting a reinfection, later confirmed by multilocus sequence typing (ST49 and ST92, respectively). Resistotypes may show the need of genotypic analysis.
