Suspected Clostridium difficile-associated hemorrhagic diarrhea in a 1-week-old elk calf.

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea was suspected in a 1-week-old elk (Cervus elaphus) calf. The isolation of a toxigenic strain of C. difficile from a diarrheic fecal sample, along with exclusion of other enteropathogens, formed the basis of this presumptive diagnosis. Further study is indicated to evaluate the role of C. difficile in neonatal diarrhea in elk.
