The opportunistic intestinal pathogen Clostridioides difficile is the number one cause of nosocomial diarrhea in humans. In this study, C. difficile was isolated from 26.7% of potatoes and 1.9% of salads from German retail. The majority of strains possessed toxinogenic PCR-ribotypes that are associated with human clinical cases pointing towards a potential risk to human health.
