Clostridioides difficile
C. difficile is an emerging pathogen of the human intestinal tract. The risk of an infection is increasingly higher especially in the eldery, people that are being treated with antibiotics, and people that have prolonged hospital stays. An infection can be entirely free of symptoms, cause different degrees of diarrhea, but also result in life-threatening colitis.
