DOI: 10.1111/zph.12956
Abstract: While previous research on zoonotic transmission of community‐acquired Clostridioides difficile infection (CA‐CDI) focused on food‐producing animals, the present study aimed to investigate whether dogs are carriers of resistant and/or virulent C. difficile strains. Rectal swabs… read more here.
