| The Romans used to say nihil difficile volenti, nothing is difficult for those who want it. |
|
| The new bugs multiply rapidly and take over the lower intestine, driving C. difficile away. |
|
| Another bug, clostridium difficile, was also found on the ward last week. |
|
| He cultured the faecal bacteria of healthy mice and tried various combinations of them on animals infected with C. difficile. |
|
| Results of repeated tests for C difficile toxin were negative. |
|
| You can do your part in the battle against antibiotic resistant organisms such as C. difficile. |
|
| The C. difficile bacteria causes severe diarrhea and may have mutated into a virulent superbug over the past couple of years, according to reports. |
|
| Multiplex PCR targeting tpi, tcdA, and tcdB genes for toxigenic culture of Clostridium difficile. |
|
| Another team used it to practice how to break the news to a patient that they had just been diagnosed with C. difficile and needed to be isolated. |
|
| Antibiotics change the normal gut flora very quickly – wiping out the indigenous, harmless bacteria and leaving the patient susceptible to resistant bacteria such as Clostridium difficile. |
|
| This is a particular scourge of those being treated in hospital with oral antibiotics that, as a side-effect, kill many gut microbes and thus let C. difficile run wild. |
|
| Outbreaks of hospital-acquired infections such as MRSA and C. difficile, and stories of women in labour without a midwife and old folk unwashed and unfed, make admission to hospital seem like a game of Russian roulette. |
|
| Laboratory testing of stool samples for toxigenic Clostridium difficile infection has evolved considerably during the past 3 decades. |
|
| Use of sodium taurocholate to enhance spore recovery on a medium selective for Clostridium difficile. |
|
| Clostridium difficile infection can often be identified endoscopically and histologically by its characteristic pseudomembrane formation. |
|
| Adler A, Schwartzberg Y, Samra Z, Schwarts O, Carmeli Y, Schwaber M J and the Isreali Clostridium difficile diagnostics study group. |
|
| New research suggests that antibiotic treatment could be asymptomatically inducing the transmission of the healthcare-acquired infection Clostridium difficile. |
|
| Effects of cefotaxime and desacetylcefotaxime upon Clostridium difficile proliferation and toxin production in a triple-stage chemostat model of the human gut. |
|
| C Difficile is an infection in the intestine which causes diarrhoea and colitis, an inflamed colon. |
