Hypervirulent antibiotic-resistantClostridium difficilein Europe [PDF]
Microbial Ecology in Health & Disease, 2008 Recently, several Clostridium difficile outbreaks due to PCR ribotype 027, associated with increased disease severity and death, have been reported in North America and in several European countries. This strain is toxinA/toxinB-positive, contains the genes for binary toxin and has an 18 bp deletion and a frameshift mutation in the gene tcdC ...

Sputum Gram stain of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae
Journal of General and Family Medicine, 2023 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae has virulence genes relevant to capsule overproduction, which could lead to the finding of thick transparent area ("halo") in Gram stain. In sputum Gram stain, observation of a large Gram-negative rod with a thick capsule may not only indicate that it is K. pneumoniae but also that it is a highly virulent strain.
