Moloney G., Eyre DW., Mac Aogáin M., McElroy MC., Vaughan A., Peto TEA., Crook DW., Rogers TR.

Genomic analysis of a diverse collection of Clostridioides difficile ribotype 078 isolates from Ireland and 9 countries in Europe provided evidence for complex regional and international patterns of dissemination that are not restricted to humans. These isolates are associated with C. difficile colonization and clinical illness in humans and pigs.
