Clostridium difficile [klo–strid–ee–um dif–uh–seel] (C. difficile) is a bacterium that causes inflammation of the colon, known as colitis.
People who have other illnesses or conditions requiring prolonged use of antibiotics, and the elderly, are at greater risk of acquiring this disease. The bacteria are found in the feces. People can become infected if they touch items or surfaces that are contaminated with feces and then touch their mouth or mucous membranes. Healthcare workers can spread the bacteria to patients or contaminate surfaces through hand contact.
Although antibiotics are prescribed to those with this infectious illness, Fecal Microbiota Transplants, also known as FMT is another very successful method. Fecal Microbiota Transplants is a procedure in which fecal matter, or stool, is collected from a tested donor, mixed with a saline or other solution, strained, and placed in a patient, by colonoscopy, endoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, or enema. This method has been one of the most prosperous and healthcare providers are creating new ways to make the process of fecal transplants easier.
