Clostridium difficile (C. diff) primarily causes gastrointestinal infections and is not known to directly cause pink eye (conjunctivitis). However, if a person has a C. diff infection, they may have a weakened immune system, which could make them more susceptible to other infections, including conjunctivitis. Additionally, poor hygiene practices associated with C. diff outbreaks could potentially lead to the spread of bacteria or viruses that cause pink eye.

Cold temperatures can inhibit the growth and survival of Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) spores, but they do not necessarily kill them.

Proper cleaning and disinfection with appropriate agents are essential to effectively eliminate C. diff from surfaces and prevent its spread.

Alcohol-based hand rubs are not effective against Clostridium difficile (C. diff) spores. While they can reduce the number of other pathogens on the hands, C. diff requires soap and water for effective removal, especially after potential exposure. Therefore, thorough handwashing with soap and water is the recommended method for preventing the spread of C. diff.
Has anyone taken a medication called Dificid for a C diff infection Did it cure you?
One answer is not sufficient to know how effective Dificid is. I just took my last pill. Praying C-diff does not come back as it has with the three previous medications that I took. I will report back in a couple of months as to whether or not my C-diff reoccurred after taking C-diff. The Dificid cost me $1,560 with Medicare. It is a shame that medications in the US are so expensive that you have to decide what you can live without in order to pay for your medication :-(
