Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the leading cause of nosocomial infection in hospitalized patients receiving long-term antibiotic treatment. An excessive host inflammatory response is believed to be the major mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of C. difficile infection, and various proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β are detected in patients with C. difficile infection. IL-1β is...

C. difficile infection is associated with disturbed gut microbiota and changes in relative frequencies and abundance of individual bacterial taxons have been described. In this study we have analysed bacterial, fungal and archaeal microbiota by denaturing high pressure liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and with machine learning methods in 208 faecal samples from healthy volunteers and in routine sa...

Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection (CDI) rates have exhibited a steady rise worldwide over the last two decades and the infection poses a global threat due to the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains. Interstrain antagonistic interactions across the host microbiome form an important strategy for controlling the emergence of CDI. The current diagnosis method for CDI, based on im...

1.1 Condition: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). A diagnosis of CDI implies: a) laboratory detection of C. difficile toxins and/or toxigenic C. difficile in faeces, rectal swab or bowel contents PLUS b) relevant clinical manifestations: diarrhoea (usually defined as 3 or more loose stools in a 24 hour period) or, less commonly, ileus, toxic megacolon or pseudomembranous colitis (identified...

In 2015, Clostridium difficile testing rates among 30 US community, multispecialty, and cancer hospitals were 14.0, 16.3, and 33.9/1,000 patient-days, respectively. Pooled hospital onset rates were 0.56, 0.84, and 1.57/1,000 patient-days, respectively. Higher testing rates may artificially inflate reported rates of C. difficile infection. C. difficile surveillance should consider testing freque...

PURPOSE To determine whether a change in prophylactic antibiotic protocol for orthopaedic surgeries may reduce the frequency of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoeal infections. METHODS Records of 1331 patients who underwent trauma or elective surgeries involving implantation of metalwork were reviewed. 231 trauma and 394 elective patients who received intravenous cefuroxime-based antib...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether Clostridium difficile is present in the food of hospitalized patients and to estimate the risk of subsequent colonization associated with C. difficile in food. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study of inpatients at a university-affiliated tertiary care center, May 9, 2011-July 12, 2012. Enrolled patients submitted a portion of food from each meal. Patient st...

Background and Objectives Clostridium Difficile is the most common cause of nosocomial infectious diarrhea. This study evaluates the prevalence and predictors of Clostridium Difficile infections in patients undergoing radical cystectomy with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods Retrospective chart review was performed of all patients undergoing cystectomy and urinary diversion at a si...

Infection with Clostridium difficile is a growing concern because of the increasing prevalence and spread of nosocomial infections. Emergence of the hypervirulent 027/NAP1/BI strain is also notable. Existing diagnostic methods have low sensitivity or are time-consuming. Therefore, establishing a rapid and accurate microbiological diagnostic assay is needed. We evaluated the Xpert C. difficile a...

Objectives Diarrhea is common in patients coming to Emergency Department (ED), especially among those who receive antibiotics. Clostridium difficile is the most commonly identified organism for antibiotic associated diarrhea. Because of the frequent use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, the incidence of C. difficileassociated diarrhea (CDAD) has risen dramatically in recent years. Antibiotic expos...
