Prospective observational study comparing three different treatment regimes in patients with Clostridium difficile infection.

abstract：:A case of Mycobacterium leprae rifampin resistance after irregular antileprosy treatments since 1971 is reported. Whole-genome sequencing from four longitudinal samples indicated relapse due to acquired rifampin resistance and not to reinfection with another strain.
