ribotype 001/072, survived the simulated washer extractor cycle with an industrial detergent.
After the initial reports of outbreaks of CDI in Europe associated with PCR
ribotype 027 (RT027) in 2005 (2), a second incidence study was conducted in 2007, which showed that CDI incidence had increased to 90 cases/100,000 inhabitants (8,276 new cases).
The increasing incidence and severity of Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) reported since 2001 in the United States and Canada (1,2) have been associated with the emergence of a hypervirulent
ribotype 027 (2).

ribotype 027 (detected in the same test) and 139/284 were negative for 027 thus classified as non-027
ribotype (Table 1).
The study will investigate the efficacy and safety of MGB-BP-3 in patients with Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD), caused by Clostridium difficile, including the most virulent
ribotype, B1/NAP1/027.
The outbreaks were caused by a new virulent strain (called PCR
ribotype 027).13
Of these species, Alexandrium affine, Alexandrium catenella Group IV
ribotype (Alexandrium pacificum), Alexandrium fraterculus, Alexandrium margalefi, Alexandrium minutum, Alexandrium ostenfeldii, Alexandrium pseudogonyaulax, Alexandrium tamarense Group V
ribotype (Alexandrium australiense), and Alexandrium diversaporum have been reported (Hallegraeff et al.
To determine if heat could favor the selection of other PCR
ribotype 078 isolates, we analyzed the individual survival rates of 94 isolates from the mid-2000s (49 of
ribotype 078 and 45 of other
ribotypes; ratio, 1.08: 1).

Since the early 2000s, hypervirulent strains (particularly PCR
ribotype 027, also known as NAP-1 or BI) have been responsible for major outbreaks and subsequent increased mortality in the northern hemisphere, especially North America and Europe (2-4).
