C. difficile – A Problem in the Hospital Environment
C. difficile is associated with:
 An increased length of stay in healthcare facilities up to 4.5 days
 Inpatient care costs have been estimated to be $2,500 to $3,500 per patient
(excluding costs associated with surgical interventions)
 Economic consequences in US exceeds $3.2 billion annually
C. difficile produces spores that can:
 Persist in the environment for many months and are highly resistant to
cleaning and disinfection measures
 Exist for five months on hard surfaces
