Resumen
In a 1-year survey at a university hospital we found that 20·6% (81/392) of patients with
antibiotic associated diarrohea where positive for C. difficile. The most common PCR ribotypes
were 012 (14·8%), 027 (12·3%), 046 (12·3%) and 014/020 (9·9). The incidence rate was 2·6 cases
of C. difficile infection for every 1000 outpatients.
