| Core Tip |
The incidence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has surpassed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus as a common pathogen in hospitals. The high incidence, lethality, and widespread nature of CDI seriously affect patients' lives and induce a huge medical burden on the country. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand the epidemiological characteristics, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment methods, as well as conduct targeted prevention and control of CDI in hospitals. |
