title: Enzyme profiles of Clostridium difficile strains isolated from children.
abstract: Clostridium difficile isolates from children with haematological malignancies, diarrhoea and healthy neonates as well as standard strains were examined by API ZYM (standard test) system and API ZYM research kit for glucosidases and peptidases. The results of expanded enzymatic characterization are presented.
