Comparative Genomic Diversity of Clostridium Difficile during Sequential Recurrences of Infections: A Review | Chapter 5 | Innovations in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 2

 Clostridium difficile is a new developing infectious pathogen that can invade both animals and humans' digestive tracts. The amount of gene conservation in C. difficile is low. As a result, antibiotic treatment has been found to be successful in 15-30% of patients. For the first time, we compiled current information on C. difficile drug resistance genotypes, including sporulation and motility methods, growth appropriateness, antibiotic susceptibility, and whole-genome sequencing, in this review. The use of PCR allows doctors to confirm that the recurrences were caused by a combination of old (relapse) and new strains (reinfection). Our research found a consistent difference across genotypes, indicating that DNA gene mutations are widespread in antibiotic resistance phenotypes. Our findings show that antibiotic resistance exerts selective pressure on C. difficile genome evolution, potentially resulting in more adaptable drug-resistant strains. This discovery could pave the way for further research into the mechanism of C. difficile antibiotic resistance and the development of novel medicines. However, further study is needed to understand how C. difficile genomic diversity has altered as a result of the transition from molecular typing to total-genome sequence comparisons and comparative genome microarrays.
