Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection typically occurs after the use of antibiotics, which disrupt the normal gut flora, allowing C. difficile to flourish. It can be transmitted through contact with contaminated surfaces, hands, or feces of an infected person. Healthcare settings, such as hospitals and nursing homes, are common environments for outbreaks due to the close proximity of patients and the use of antibiotics. Maintaining good hygiene, such as thorough handwashing and disinfection of surfaces, can help prevent its spread.
