Abstract

OBJECTIVE. To describe and analyze a large outbreak of Clostridium ă difficile 027 (CD-027) infections. ă METHODS. Confirmed CD-027 cases were defined as CD infection plus ă real-time polymerase chain reaction assay (PCR) positive for CD-027. ă Clinical and microbiological data on patients with CD-027 infection were ă collected from January 2013 to December 2015 in the ă Provence-Alpes-Cote-d'Azur region (southeastern France). ă RESULTS. In total, 19 healthcare facilities reported 144 CD-027 ă infections (112 confirmed and 32 probable CD-027 infections) during a ă 22-month period outbreak. Although the incidence rate per 10,000 bed ă days was lower in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) than in acute care ă facilities (0.05 vs 0.14; P
