- The study focuses on Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), a leading cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea, which has seen a rise in cases among both healthy adults and asymptomatic hospitalized patients.
- Current infection control measures mainly target symptomatic patients, leaving asymptomatic carriers overlooked, which could contribute to the spread and increasing severity of CDI.
- Conducted at a university hospital in Lyon, France, the research will involve regular stool sampling from admitted patients to assess rates of asymptomatic colonization and identify factors linked to CDI, following ethical guidelines and protocols.
