NOVEMBER 2009 : WARNING

This is a new MLST scheme (the ddl gene was replaced by the groEL gene, some primers and PCR conditions have been changed). However, you can still access the old scheme by clicking on the link below, but this database will not be maintained

old MLST scheme Clostridium difficile

The Clostridium difficile MLST website contains two linked databases - one for allelic profiles and sequences, the other for isolate information. This structure offers advantages over a single database system. Further details can be found here.
