Five strains of Clostridium difficile were isolated from specimens other than stool. One of these was isolated from a case of intraabdominal abscess after colectomy, two from decubital ulcers, one from a bile, and one from a blood.
All five cases were treated with antibiotics prior to recovery of C. difficile, and five strains of C. difficile were isolated with other aerobes and anaerobes concomitantly.
