| Abstract | AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial susceptibilities of Clostridium difficile clinical isolates obtained from symptomatic patients suffering from diarrhoea. METHODS: In vitro activities of 22 antimicrobial agents were evaluated against 401 clinical isolates of C. difficile collected from patients hospitalized in a French university hospital (Henri Mondor hospital) between 2001 and 2007. The in vitro antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using the disc diffusion method according to recommendations of the antibiogram committee of the French society for microbiology. RESULTS: All strains were found to be susceptible to metronidazole and vancomycin but resistant to clindamycin, gentamicin, and colistin. Most of them were susceptible to pristinamycin (97.8%), rifampin (94.8%), and chloramphenicol (97.3%), and variable degrees of resistance were found for erythromycin and spiramycin (72.8%), as well as for tetracycline (85.6%). Note that none of the strain was susceptible to ofloxacin, and that 80.5% of them showed a high-level resistance. For beta-lactams, all strains were resistant to tested cephalosporins, and nine isolates (2.2%) were also resistant to penicillins combined or not to a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Finally, 28 (7%) and 38 (9.5%) of tested strains were categorized intermediate and resistant to imipenem (with a heterogeneous aspect), respectively. CONCLUSION: All tested strains were found to be susceptible to metronidazole and vancomycin which remain antimicrobial agents for the treatment of infections caused by C. difficile. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
