Abstract

METHODS: From 2013 to 2015, we collected community environmental swabs from homes and public areas in Houston, Texas to assess

RESULTS: A total of 2538 environmental samples were collected over the study period. These included samples obtained from homes (n = 1079), parks (n = 491), chain stores (n = 225), fast food restaurants (n = 123), other commercial stores (n = 172), and hospitals (n = 448). Overall, 418 environmental isolates grew toxigenic

CONCLUSIONS: We identified a high prevalence of toxigenic
