Article Synopsis
- A study examined 188 Clostridium difficile isolates from humans and animals for antimicrobial resistance, finding that animal isolates were more resistant to oxacillin, gentamicin, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.
- The highest discrepancy in imipenem resistance was noted, with 53.3% of human isolates resistant compared to 28.1% of animal isolates.
- Overall, similar resistance levels were observed between human and animal isolates, suggesting a possible transmission of C. difficile between species, with multiresistant strains identified in both groups.
Infant botulism: first two confirmed cases in Slovenia and literature review.

In Europe, infant botulism is a rare but probably under-diagnosed disease. With the intent to spread the awareness of this potentially life-threatening disease, we present a review of the literature with the emphasis on European epidemiology and a practical approach to diagnosis. We also report the first two confirmed cases of infant botulism in Slovenia and describe our way to the final diagnosis in a clinical setting where all appropriate diagnostic tests and treatment options are not readily available.
