Clostridium difficile has joined the ranks of the “super bugs” that are often resistant to antimicrobials and are flourishing in hospitals and long-term care facilities. This new handbook, written by two leading infectious disease experts, examines the epidemiology of C difficile infection, its increasing prevalence worldwide, and the options for treatment and prevention. The practice-based handbook includes the latest information about surveillance strategies and effective therapies.
