To determine whether a multihospital Clostridium difficile outbreak was associated with epidemic strains and whether use of particular fluoroquinolones was associated with increased infection rates, we cultured feces from C. difficile infected patients. Use of fluoroquionolones with enhanced antianaerobic activity was not associated with increased infection rates.
