gut bacterial communities of diarrheic patients with indications of clostridioides difficile infection

We present bacterial 16S rRNA gene datasets derived from stool samples of 44 patients with diarrhea indicative of a Clostridioides difficile infection. After processing of paired-end sequencing data, reads were merged, quality-filtered, primer sequences removed, reads truncated to 400 bp and dereplicated. The bacterial community profiles are based on operational taxonomic unit (OTU, defined at...
