Comparison of the molecular characteristics of Clostridioides difficile strain DQ/591 and the epidemic BI/027 strain in study of C. difficile at 2 US Veteran Affairs long-term care facilities and their affiliated acute care facilities. The HindIII REA (A) and PCR ribotype (B) banding patterns were distinct between REA strain DQ/RT591 and REA strain BI/RT027. Molecular weight markers (in kb) are shown adjacent to the REA gel pattern. An internal spiked LIZ 1200 standard was used for fragment leng
