Risk Factors for BI/NAP1/027 Clostridioides difficile Infections and Clinical Outcomes Compared With Non-NAP1 Strains.

Abstract
We aim to describe the characteristics, risk factors, and clinical outcomes associated with NAP1 strain Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in this single-center, retrospective, case-control (1:1) study. We found that the NAP1 strain accounted for 19.7% of CDI, and risk factors for acquisition included residence in skilled nursing facilities, previous CDI, and proton pump inhibitor use.
