Clostridioides difficile in Non-hospital Sources (Animals, Food, and Environment) in Asian Countries: A Literature Review

Based on the literature pertaining to Asia, the highest rate of C. difficile is found in samples collected from farm animals, red meat, and meat-based products, and the presence of two hypervirulent ribotypes of the bacterium in non-hospital sources is alarming.

The Environment, Farm Animals and Foods as Sources of Clostridioides difficile Infection in Humans

There is a higher risk of exposure to all ribotypes when consuming shellfish or pork, with the latter being the main foodborne route for ribotypes 027 and 078, the hypervirulent strains that cause most human illnesses.

Global and Historical Distribution of Clostridioides difficile in the Human Diet (1981–2019): Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 21886 Samples Reveal Sources of Heterogeneity, High-Risk Foods, and Unexpected Higher Prevalence Toward the Tropic

CD in the human diet is a global non-random-source of foodborne exposure that occurs independently of laboratory culture methods, across regions, and at a variable level depending on food type and latitude, suggesting the plausible hypothesis that ecologically-richer microbiomes in the tropic might protect against intestinal CD colonization/infections despite CD ingestion.
