AB  - Clostridium  difficile  infection  (CDI)  is  a  unique  colonic  disease  that  is  acquired  most  commonly  in  association  with  antimicrobial  use  and  the  consequent  disruption  of  the  normal  colonic  microbiota.  The  most  commonly  diagnosed  diarrheal  illness  acquired  in  the  hospital,  CDI  results  from  the  ingestion  of  spores  of  C.  difficile  that  vegetate,  multiply,  and  secrete  toxins,  causing  diarrhea  and,  in  the  most  severe  cases,  pseudomembranous  colitis  (PMC).
