[A Case of Clostridium difficile Enteritis with Ileostomy for Rectal Cancer Surgery] - PubMed
A 74-year-old male presenting with bloody stools was diagnosed with advanced rectal cancer. He underwent robot- assisted low anterior resection and temporary ileostomy. Cefmetazole(CMZ)was administered during surgery and on postoperative day(POD)1. His postoperative course was generally good. On POD …

Antimicrobial Resistance of Clostridioides difficile in Children from a Tertiary Pediatric Hospital in Shanghai, China - PubMed
C. difficile isolates from children with reduced susceptibility to metronidazole and vancomycin are emerging in pediatric CDI in China. The lack of pCD-METRO plasmid and vanA/B associated with reduced antibiotic susceptibility suggests there are additional mechanisms of resistance.

C difficile—a rose by any other name…
C difficile—a rose by any other name…
The twists and turns of bacterial taxonomy occasionally throw up complications for the infectious diseases community. Long established and familiar organisms are, from the perspective of many medical practitioners, suddenly renamed for what might seem to be arcane reasons that have little relevance to the management of disease. However, if a name change is hastily adopted by medical practitioners there is the potential for unintended consequences. For this reason, and a strong conservative instinct, taxonomic changes can take a while to filter through to medical practice.
