| Abstract | Recent report from Center for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), based on an analysis of 10,342 cases of CDI in 111 hospitals and 310 nursing homes, showed that 75% of patients were already colonized with C. difficile at the time of admission (1). Nearly all (94%) of these cases were “healthcare-associated”, meaning that acquisition occurred during an outpatient visit, a nursing home stay, the current hospitalization, or previous hospitalization.
