Pathogenicity and virulence of Clostridioides difficile
Virulence, 2023 Clostridioides difficile is the most common cause of nosocomial antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and is responsible for a spectrum of diseases characterized by high levels of recurrence, morbidity, and mortality. Treatment is complex, since antibiotics constitute both the main treatment and the major risk factor for infection.

Clostridioides difficile epidemiology in India
Anaerobe, 2022 Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) continues to affect hospitalized patients and community populations worldwide. In contrast to the substantial resources invested in the diagnosis and prevention of CDI in high-income countries, this anaerobic toxigenic bacterium has been largely overlooked in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) such as India,
