Changes in treatment of community-onset Clostridioides difficile infection after release of updated guidelines Atlanta Georgia 2018
Changes in treatment of community-onset Clostridioides difficile infection after release of updated guidelines Atlanta Georgia 2018
Updated Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) guidelines published in 2018 recommend vancomycin as first-line treatment. Of 833 community-onset CDI cases in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia in 2018, over half did not receive first-line treatment, although guideline adherence increased over the year. …

Risk factors for development of initial Clostridioides difficile infection
Risk factors for development of initial Clostridioides difficile infection
Almost one-third of included patients experienced a complicated episode of CDI as their initial episode. Further research is warranted to elucidate the extent of influence of prior antibiotics on the development of complicated CDI.

Clostridioides difficile in Calves in Central Italy: Prevalence Molecular Typing Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Association with Antibiotic Administration
The emergence of Clostridioides difficile as the main agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea has raised concerns about its potential zoonotic role in different animal species. The use of antimicrobials is a major risk factor for C. difficile infection. Here, we provide data on C. …

Aseptic Stethoscope Barriers Prevent C difficile Transmission In Vitro
Aseptic Stethoscope Barriers Prevent C difficile Transmission In Vitro
We found that stethoscope diaphragm barriers provide an aseptic patient contact point, thus reducing the potential for transmission of C difficile during the physical examination. In critical care environments, in which many hospitals use acoustically inferior disposable stethoscopes, the opt …
