Background: The incidence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) has increased in recent years in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). C. difficile is a toxin-producing bacterium, and CDI results in the worsening of underlying IBD, increasing the risk of IBD trea …

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) often manifests as diarrhea, particularly in adults of older age or with underlying comorbidities. However, only severe cases are notifiable in Germany. Moreover, failure to collect a stool specimen from inpatients with diarrhea or incomplete testing may lead …

This meta-analysis demonstrated that EIAs could be reliable methods for detecting CDI based on their sensitivity, specificity, time and cost-effectiveness, and simplicity in the procedure. Further work to improve rapid tests would benefit from improvements to the methodology.

New paper from our lab by lead author Quinten Ducarmon, in @CMIJournal (also w/ @edkuijper2). TL/DR; a commercial diagnostic test failed to detect recurrent CDI due to a cryptic clade C-II RT151 #cdiff isolate.

Infectious diarrhea after allogeneic HCT was seen in about one-third of the patients, mostly as nosocomial infection in the pre-engraftment phase.

The ribotyping of Clostridioides difficile is one of the basic methods of molecular epidemiology for monitoring the spread of C. difficile infections. In the Czech Republic, this procedure is mainly available in university hospitals. The introduction of ribotyping in a tertiary health care facility …

The emerging Clostridioides difficile strain BI/NAP1/027 has been reported to be associated with more severe clinical symptoms and higher mortality rates, thought in part due to production of a novel binary toxin alongside conventional A and B toxins. However, recent studies suggest that this …

Take a minute to read our story about how our IP team partnered with our ED physicians at Emory Midtown to detect C diff early! #infectionprevention #APIC #cdiff https://t.co/PVPLtPDa5z— Jill Holdsworth (@JillHolds) November 18, 2022

CCDS systems reduced unnecessary C. difficile testing and were perceived positively by HCPs when integrated into their workflow and when displaying relevant patient-specific information needed for decision making.

A2. We utilize our EMR to have our C. diff stool test orders cross check the medication list to prevent providers from ordering #cdiff stool tests on patients who received a laxative in the last 48 hoursto decrease inappropriate testing #USAAW22 #AntimicrobialResistance— Veronica Zafonte (@VBZafonte) November 16, 2022

Detection of Clostridioides difficile toxins in patients with gastroenteritis has increasingly been accomplished through the use of enteric multiplex syndromic panels. Comparisons of the performance of these panels to both direct-from-stool (DFS) and culture-enriched stools followed by polyme …

Using only an electronic health record intervention, we successfully decreased C. difficile orders after 72 hours of admission in a large, safety-net system. Variation existed among hospitals and by provider type.

Dr. Abraham discusses importance of differential diagnosis of C. difficile infection (CDI) in patients with IBD and how both IBD and CDI should be managed.

Northwestern Medicine developed a testing strategy using a two-step algorithm to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.

The C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE, in a two-step approach with the Xpert C. difficile, performed similarly to the NAATs on their own and offer advantages in terms of cost and workflow in low-resource settings.

Bundled interventions focused on appropriate C. difficile testing can result in a significant decrease in testing and clinical diagnosis of C. difficile infection without any harms related to delay in diagnosis. In otherwise stable renal transplant recipients after the first month of transplant, scr …

Agree -good data & @ESCMID guidelines - test all - don’t wait to be asked - missing #cdiff puts other patients at risk of cross infection @RCSI_Micro @EdKuijper2 @kerrieanndavies https://t.co/BkVbXYxuqf— Prof. Fidelma Fitzpatrick (@FfitzP) October 17, 2022

Elevated MICs to antibiotics used for treatment of C. difficile infection were rare and there was no increase in MICs over time. The lack of vanA/B genes or mutations consistently associated with elevated vancomycin MICs suggests there are multifactorial mechanisms of resistance. Ongoing surveillanc …
