Clostridioides difficile is an urgent public health threat by virtue of being the most common pathogen in hospitals and an increased risk of community-acquired infection [1]. The incidence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is increasing with a disproportionate rise in recurrent CDI seen in the United States. The primary risk factors for CDI are antibiotic exposure, advanced age, presence of comorbid conditions such as immunosuppression, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic kidney disease, amongst others [1]. The pathophysiology of both primary and recurrent CDI includes a disruption of the gut microbiota, i.e. dysbiosis. The clinical features of CDI range from diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever to fulminant colitis with severe sepsis. The cornerstone of the management of initial CDI is an antibiotic therapy and multiply recurrent CDI is managed with microbiome restoration therapies to restore gut dysbiosis [1]. This article discusses recent advances in the diagnosis and therapy of primary and recurrent CDI.
