C. Diff Carriers Are Source of Infections in Hospitals

 Clostridioides difficile is a spore-forming, gram-positive anaerobic bacillus spread by fecal–oral transmission of spores, which remain viable for long periods of time ex vivo. Although C. difficile carriers do not have diarrhea, they do shed spores that can contaminate environmental surfaces. More...
