Abstract
Thirsty-six binary toxin producers were detected with 2 genotypes (cdtA+ and cdtB+ ) among 265 Clostridium difficile isolates by multiplex PCR. The rate of accurate differentiation between these 2 genotypes was 100% by 6-peak cluster analysis of spectra generated by Bruker Biotyper matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
