Typing of Clostridium difficile by western immunoblotting with 10 different antisera.

RESUMO
Western blotting (immunoblotting) with antisera against each of 10 reference serogroups was evaluated as a means of typing Clostridium difficile. A total of 164 clinical isolates of C. difficile were tested. Variations in band profiles in each serogroup were used to type isolates into subserogroups. This technique was useful for an epidemiological investigation.
