- Abstract
Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) is common among hospital-acquired bacterial diarrhea, its mortality and morbidity show an increasing trend in recent years. Improper antimicrobial drug use is one of the key reasons. Adequate hand hygiene of healthcare workers, thorough disinfection of hospital environment, and appropriate isolation of patients are effective measures to prevent the outbreak of hospital-aquired CDAD.
