Key Background Information on Recurrent C. Difficile Infections
Panelist discusses how recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection results from persistent microbiome disruption, where antibiotic-induced dysbiosis enables bacterial overgrowth and toxin production. Characterized by repeated episodes of colitis, it predominantly affects older, hospitalized patients with compromised immune systems, presenting significant clinical challenges through inflammatory complications and potential systemic spread.
