Article Title: Transmission of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) from patients less than 3 years of age in a pediatric oncology setting
Abstract: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is prevalent in pediatric oncology patients, but the transmission risk to peers is unknown. In 224 children with CDI, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) identified only 7 alleged transmission events (18%) originating from children <3 years old. None of these events were corroborated by WGS. © 2020 by The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America. All rights reserved.
