Dept. of Community and Preventive Medicine, 2010.Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI) is a major cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea and is most commonly associated with changes in normal intestinal flora caused by administration of antibiotics. The recent emergence of strains of C. difficile demonstrating new antimicrobial resistance patterns may mean that antibiotics that have seldom been implicated in the past now confer a greater risk of CDI. Few studies have examined increases in the risk of CDI associated with total cumulative dose, duration, or number of antibiotics. Therefore, a retrospective cohort study was conducted to determine the incidence of CDI at...
