ABSTRACT
Clostridium difficile was isolated from 1.8% (7/393) of retail pork samples obtained from 4 Canadian provinces. Five ribotypes and 3 toxinotypes were identified. Three isolates were indistinguishable from the international outbreak strain ribotype 027 and were toxinotype III. Although the implications for food safety practices remain elusive, the frequency of toxigenic isolates and isolates indistinguishable from known human pathogenic strains suggests contaminated pork may be a source of C. difficile in humans.
