title: Effect of hospital disinfectants on spores of clinical Brazilian Clostridium difficile strains.
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sporicidal activity of hospital disinfectants against spores of two Brazilian Clostridium difficile ribotypes and the BI/NAP1/027. Our results showed that CloroRio(®) and Cidex Opa(®) were the most efficient agents for eliminating spores of C difficile.
