VOORHEES, N.J., Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is increasingly being seen in older adults, especially among residents of long-term care facilities (LTCFs). This is further complicated by the emergence of a new resistant strain of C. difficile associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality.
Implementing strategies for prevention and control, early diagnosis, and prompt aggressive treatment is critical in managing CDI.

Stevenson, MD, MPH, Associate Professor in Internal Medicine and Associate Director of Clinical Epidemiology at Ohio State University College of Medicine in Columbus, Ohio.
