Clostridium difficile, also known as C. diff, CDI and C. difficile, is a bacterium that may develop due to the prolonged use of antibiotics during healthcare treatment. C. diff infections cause diarrhea and more serious intestinal conditions such as colitis. It is a major culprit for healthcare associated infections (HAIs) and has been increasingly identified as a community acquired infection.
