Clostridioides difficile : a potential source of NpmA in the clinical environment.

The article offers information on the study conducted on Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile, a Gram-positive, spore-forming enteric pathogen and the cause of most hospital-acquired, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea identified npmA, an uncommon 16S rRNA methyltransferase identified in a Escherichia coli isolate. Topics include C. difficile isolate sequencing; Aminoglycoside susceptibility testing; and concluded the presence of npmA and aminoglycoside resistance in a C. difficile isolate.
