Types of HAI
Include some current research in each topic, with at least one figure showing data.
Clostridium difficile as a Leading Cause
Include some current research in each topic, with at least one figure showing data.
Toxin Production
Include some current research in each topic, with at least one figure showing data.
Genetic map of PaLoc and CDT locus in C. difficile. Arrows denote the direction of transcription. Toxin genes are shown in green, and regulator genes in red. http://ac.els-cdn.com/S0966842X1100196X/1-s2.0-S0966842X1100196X-main.pdf?_tid=77e5bb16-e7ad-11e4-8275-00000aab0f27&acdnat=1429569475_da85a2645d2046d4eb2278f4c889fe9a
Strains and Identification
Include some current research in each topic, with at least one figure showing data.
Comparison of PCR-ribotyping using newly developed primers that closely surround the rRNA operon, versus primers used in older literature. Lanes 1, 6, and 10 are 100-bp mass markers. Lanes 2, 4, 7, 9, and 12 show the results using new primers, next to Lanes 3, 5, 8, 10, and 13 which use primers from older literature (18). http://femsle.oxfordjournals.org/content/175/2/261.figures-only
Treatment
Include some current research in each topic, with at least one figure showing data.
Prevention
Overall paper length should be 3,000 words, with at least 3 figures.
