C. Difficile is a species of bacteria. Its full name is Clostridium Difficile. This bug is responsible for a lot of hospital acquired gastrointestinal infections(usually diarrheal infections that can range from mild to bloody and very painful). C. Diff infections often occur in patients who are on strong antibiotics that kill off the normal flora of the gut (the regular bacteria that live in your small intestine/colon and help to digest/defend from other infections). A complication of a c. diff infection is pseudomembranous colitis, a condition where a membrane forms over the lumen(inner lining) of the colon. Treatment for c. diff includes stopping the antibiotics that killed off the normal flora, and adding antibiotics such as metronidazole or vancomycin which are good at killing of c. diff.
