Clostridium difficile may refer to:
Bacterial infection with C. difficile inflames the colon and causes diarrhea – that can be debilitating – and other intestinal symptoms. Infection with Clostridium difficile is very serious, can often recur, and can even lead to death.

A basic definition of Clostridium Difficile for Nurses C –diff is a bacteria that causes inflammation of the colon which is called colitis. Toxins produced by c-diff attack the intestinal lining. Those at high risk for C-diff are: • Elderly patients usually over the age of 65. • Those patients with recent hospitalizations • Patients with recent antibiotic C-diff usually occurs as a 3-step process: 1. First step is destruction of the normal flora (the current antibiotic may have killed good bacteria along with bad bacteria) 2. Ingests C-Diff bacteria (primarily acquired nosocomially as the spores can be abundant in the hospital environment) 3. Developments of C-diff disease – Usually around 7 day incubation. Signs and symptoms: • Abdominal cramping and pain • Watery stool ( 10-15 per day) ...

Ciaran P. Kelly, MD, MB, professor, Harvard Medical School and director of the Celiac Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, discusses topics in management of Clostridium difficile (C diff) infections. This lecture was part of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Medicine Grand Rounds series. The title of his November 6, 2015 Grand Rounds talk is "Clostridium difficile: Beyond Antibiotics." University of Wisconsin Department of Medicine Grand Rounds are presented throughout the academic year and are intended for health care professionals and medical researchers. Unless otherwise indicated, Grand Rounds occurs in the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital auditorium, Room A1028, Madison, Wisconsin.

Physicians with the Beacon Center for Infectious Diseases - specialists in diagnosing and treating infections - discuss a common health care associated infection called Clostridium difficile or “C. diff.” C. diff can be a serious infection that causes symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. It’s linked to an estimated 14,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. The infection most commonly affects people staying in a hospital or long-term health care facility and usually occurs after the use of antibiotics. To reach our Beacon Center, call 303-415-8850.

Clostridium difficile is a superbug that can cause serious infections, often in hospitalised patients. The pathogenesis is mostly caused by secreted protein toxins. This video schematically describes how the toxins secreted by the bacteria in the gut can penetrate the cell lining the intestine. Our lab is currently exploring new ways to prevent the toxins from penetrating in the intestinal cells. For more information, see: http://www.galenik.ethz.ch/people/cbastien/research
C Difficile or clostridium difficile is a bacteria that can cause inflammation of the colon. Elderly patients or those who require prolonged use of antibiotics are at greatest risk. To protect yourself or a loved one from this infection, it is important to understand basic precautions healthcare professionals and visitors can take.

In a new study, researchers say ultraviolet C light disinfection on unoccupied patient rooms in hospitals significantly reduces C. difficile infections. Clostridium difficile is a bacterium that infects about 500,000 people per year in the United States. The infection is typically acquired in a hospital or long-term healthcare setting, particularly after receiving antibiotics. C. diff is one of the most prominent causes of infectious diarrhea in the United States. Symptoms can range from abdominal pain to life-threatening colitis. According to UPI, the research was conducted by scientists from the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America, and published in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology. The study's authors report UV C light disinfection not only reduces the risk of patient...

C. toujours difficile En 2004, le Québec se relevait d'une grave crise de santé publique provoquée par une éclosion provinciale de C. difficile. De nombreuses mesures correctives ont depuis été apportées dans nos établissements de santé. Les autorités considèrent avoir fait des progrès, saluant au passage de bien meilleurs résultats qu'il y a dix ans en matière de prévention et de contrôle des infections nosocomiales. Néanmoins, chaque année encore, des milliers de Québécois sont infectés par des bactéries à l’hôpital. Plusieurs en meurent. À travers le combat d’une femme déterminée, dont le conjoint a contracté le C. difficile, Enquête vous révèle comment nos hôpitaux peinent encore aujourd’hui à assurer certaines pratiques de bases, comme la simple hygiène des mains. Derrière des bilans...
Clostridium difficile infection is an important cause of intestinal disease, primarily affecting hospitalized patients exposed to antibiotics. Infection has been associated with prolonged hospital stays and excess healthcare expenditures.Recent changes in epidemiology of this disease show a rise in community-acquired cases in people outside the hospital settings without traditional risk factors.Participants will discuss this disturbing trend as well as the potential role of animals and the food supply and the status of current vaccine development efforts.

Slides: http://bit.ly/CDI_924_HAI15 Approximately 83,000 of the patients who developed C. difficile experienced at least one recurrence and 29,000 died within 30 days of the initial diagnosis. This webinar will discuss targeting and implementing CDI prevention strategies in the acute care setting.
Linda Cheung, PharmD, speaks about the treatment of Clostridium difficile infections. She provides a background on C. difficile epidemiology, pathogenesis, risk factors (antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors), clinical manifestations (diarrheal disease, pseudomembranous colitis, toxic megacolon), diagnostic laboratory tests (PCR, EIA toxin assay, cytotoxins, stool culture), and management. She also discusses probiotic prophylaxis, new antimicrobials indications for C. difficile, IVIG use, and stool transplants. Finally, she discusses future therapies in development and infection control – the importance of proper handwashing.
