[Identification of toxigenic Clostridium difficile strains isolated from alimentary tract of dogs by PCR].
Twenty eight Clostridium difficile strains were investigated. Eleven strains were toxin A and toxin B gene positive. Four strains were negative for both genes. These results correlate with results of cytotoxicity assay. We identified 13 Clostridium difficile strains toxin A gene positive and toxin B gene negative.
