Clostridium difficile (CDI)
Clostridium difficile is a bacterium that may develop due to the prolonged use of antibiotics during healthcare treatment.
Clostridium difficile infections cause diarrhea and more serious intestinal conditions such as colitis. Qsource promotes Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines and tools to the healthcare community in Tennessee to help end clostridium difficile infections. We also distribute resources to help the public understand these infections and take measures to safeguard their own health when possible.
