Abstract
The major toxins of Clostridium difficile (TcdA, TcdB, CDT) are encoded chromosomally in nearly all known strains. Following up on a previous report, we found five new examples of a family of putative conjugative plasmids with tcdB and cdtAB in clinical C. difficile isolates from MLST Clades C-I, 2, and 4.
