Host specificity of Clostridium (Clostridioides) difficile in canine, bovine, and pediatric populations
Concerns that animals may represent a reservoir for zoonotic C. difficile has highlighted the need to compare characteristics of C. difficile isolates from humans and domestic animals. Here, C. difficile strains were isolated from 15 bovine fecal samples and 37 canine fecal samples and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq sequencing platform.
