N2 - The aim of the study was to provide an update on the epidemiology of C. difficile infection (CDI) in a representative number of hospitals within the Czech Republic in 2015. In 2015, twenty-eight Czech hospitals were invited to participate in a CDI study. Laboratories sent the first 20 consecutive C. difficile isolates for characterization by capillary-electrophoresis (CE) ribotyping and the presence of toxin genes and collected patient data on previous hospitalization, antibiotic treatment, the number of CDI episodes and the course of CDI. The mean incidence of CDI was 5.2 [95% CI 4.2-6.2] cases per 10,000 patient-bed days in 27 hospitals in 2015. Of 490 C. difficile isolates, the prevalent PCR ribotypes (RTs) were 001 (n = 164, 33.5%) and 176 (n = 125, 25.5%) followed by 014 (n = 37, 7.6%), 012 (n = 17, 3.5%), 020 (n = 16, 3.3%), 017 (n = 14, 2.9%) and 002 (n = 11, 2.2%). A severe course of CDI was reported in 104 cases (21.2%) with significant association with RT001 infection (p = 0.03). CDI recurrence was 10.8% (n = 53). The previous use of fluoroquinolones was associated with RTs 001 and 176 CDIs (p = 0.046 and p = 0.041). We observed a persistence of RTs 001 and 176 CDIs in the Czech Republic that was associated with the previous use of fluoroquinolones. This highlights the need for a reduction in fluoroquinolone use in Czech hospital settings.
