T1 - Multihospital Outbreak of Clostridium difficile Infection, Cleveland, Ohio, USA T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2010 VL - 16 IS - 5 SP - 827 SN - 1080-6059 AB - To determine whether a multihospital Clostridium difficile outbreak was associated with epidemic strains and whether use of particular fluoroquinolones was associated with increased infection rates, we cultured feces from C. difficile–infected patients. Use of fluoroquionolones with enhanced antianaerobic activity was not associated with increased infection rates.
