We describe a case of interspecies transmission of toxigenic Clostridioides difficile involving a female and her dog, both with diarrhea without another diagnosis. Genomic analysis showed that isolates were grouped into MLST clade I, closely related to ribotype 020 and shared identical genotypes.

Background: Nosocomial transmission of infection (CDI) has been documented in Ningbo, China. However, data on molecular characteristics, clonal transmission, and risk factors of CDI in this region remain limited.
Methods: A cross-sectional study enrolled hospitalized patients with diarrhea during September to November 2021.

Background: sequence type (ST) 81, mainly associated with ribotype (RT) 369, is a TcdA-negative and TcdB-positive genotype and a common ST found in China. Furthermore, ST81 strains are reported with highest resistance rates to many antimicrobial agents. However, given the potential for ST81 transmission, research into the epidemiological characteristics of this type of ST remain limited.

Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) are zoonotic, gastrointestinal pathogens characterized by the presence of the Shiga toxin () gene. Historically, STEC O157:H7 clonal complex (CC) 11 has been the most clinically significant serotype; however, recently there has been an increase in non-O157 STEC serotypes, including STEC O103:H2 belonging to CC17. STEC O103:H2 is an STEC serotype frequently isolated in England, although little is known about the epidemiology, clinical significance, associated public health burden or evolutionary context of this strain.
