About the Book

The book provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge about Clostridioides (C.) difficile (formerly known as Clostridium difficile) and Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI). The diseases caused by C. difficile range from mild diarrhea to fulminant and in some cases fatal colitis. Historically, CDI was considered mainly as a hospital-acquired problem. Today, a significant portion of CDI is community acquired. Triggered by the introduction of new antibiotics, hypervirulent and multi-drug resistant strains of C. difficile (e.g., C. difficile ribotype R027) have emerged and spread across the globe. The volume covers the microbiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for CDI, diagnosis, clinical pictures, treatment and prophylaxis. It includes an extensive reference list that allows an easy navigation through the original research publications. Clostridioides difficile helps the reader gain a better understanding of C. difficile, the challenges that may arise and the available treatment options. Given its broad coverage and features, it will appeal to a wide readership, from gastroenterologists through general physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers, to students.

Review :
“For the convenience of the readers the authors structured the book into separate chapters each addressing a particular aspect of C. difficile and the infections caused by this pathogen. Each chapter provides a comprehensive summary of current knowledge and is supported by a number of excellent figures. … ‘Good knowledge of a problem can strongly contribute to a successful management of a problem’. Reading the book ‘Clostridioides difficile: Infections, Risk Factors, Prevention and Treatment’ can contribute to gaining this important knowledge.” (Andrzej Wojtyła, Journal of Health Inequalities, Vol. 8 (1), June, 2022)
