Abstract

This study supports the airborne dissemination of Clostridioides difficile spores. Of the sieve impaction samples collected at a swine production unit, 66.7% were positive and all belonged to the predominantly established clone. Spores’ density varied according to the characteristics of the animal population, suggesting the possibility of airborne transmission.
