Clostridium difficile colonization in healthy adults: transient colonization and correlation with enterococcal colonization.

abstract：:In 2002, a Scottish bat conservationist developed a rabies-like disease and subsequently died. This was caused by infection with European bat lyssavirus 2 (EBLV-2), a virus closely related to Rabies virus (RABV). The source of this infection and the means of transmission have not yet been confirmed. In this study, the...
