Article Synopsis
- CDI (Clostridioides difficile infection) is a prevalent healthcare-associated infection, with symptoms that can range from mild diarrhea to severe pseudomembranous colitis.
- Toxins A (TcdA) and B (TcdB) are primarily responsible for the damaging effects on intestinal cells, leading to the symptoms of CDI, while around 20% of strains also produce a controversial binary toxin (CDT) that may enhance these effects.
- The text discusses the characteristics of CDT, its impact on human health, its relevance in clinical settings, its epidemiology, and potential treatments for CDI.

Background: Hospital-acquired infections caused by multiresistant gram-negative bacteria are difficult to treat and cause high rates of morbidity and mortality. The analysis of antimicrobial resistance trends of gram-negative pathogens isolated from hospital-acquired infections is important for the development of antimicrobial stewardship programs. The information obtained from antimicrobial resistant programs from two hospitals from Mexico will be helpful in the selection of empiric therapy for hospital-acquired gram-negative infections.
