Resistance of Clostridioides difficile spores (Clostridiales: Peptostreptococcaceae) to sodium dichloroisocyanurate

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2021
Clostridioides difficile is a significant cause of diarrhea in hospitals and the community. This bacterial pathogen is transmitted through the ingestion of endospores, which are challenging to eliminate due to intrinsic resistance to a variety of chemical disinfection agents.
