Description

Cl. difficile and Kl. oxytoca were isolated from stool of a patient with ampicillin-induced pseudomembranous colitis. The toxin of this Cl. difficile strain lacked cytotoxicity but showed positive ileal loop test. Hyperemic ceceitis was produced by inoculating the isolated Cl. difficile strain into hamster's cecum. Inoculation of the isolated Kl. oxytoca failed to produce ceceitis in the hamster. Simultaneous inoculation of the Cl. difficile and the Kl. oxytoca strains did not show any synergic effect in producing the hyperemic inflammation of the bowel in hamster.
