    We should have listened to Alexander Fleming's warning! This needs to be treated as a major emergency by humanity.

    I was admitted to the hospital back on April for 11 days... 80 bags of unneeded antibiotis and sent home with a 10 day course. It took months for my CDIFF to get to a point of hospitalization requiring another 4 days of continual antibiotics... it's been 4 months and no other flares but I'm constantly worried as a young mother to 3 very young children of super bugs and antibiotics. I was a farm to table person before this and it has pushed me to advocate more on where my food has come from. I'm medically not out of the woods yet (come to find out my perianal abscess was actually a birth injury so the procedures done that spun the CDIFF out of control were unneeded)... before it got bad I had requested an ER doctor test me because I was having bowel issues where I've never had them before... I was laughed off because it hadn't gotten bad enough for her to see a purpose... loose stools 6 or more times a day isn't normal. Doctors should be willing to do the test when the evidence is there that it's a possibility. I'm now intolerant to most dairy, eggs, and gluten (I still eat it but my body hates me for a while after) it could take yeas for my body to heal... I may always be a CDIFF carrier and relapse. I may have passed this bug off to my children and don't know it (I'm tandem nursing my 8 month old and 2 year old) I was not told the risks...
    Thank you for spreading awareness of superbugs and CDIFF. Thank you for advocating the misuse of antibiotics.

    Debbie, you recommended using bacterial wipes in one of your articles. Don't bacterial wipes lead to the creation of superbugs as well?

    Pls note just the pre op antimicrobials could have increased the example patient's risk for C.diff. I agree the additional antibiotics increased her risk for C.diff but it didn't start at 0.

      incidence of Cdiff from surgical prophylaxis is very low: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26545971

      I agree the risk is low but surgeons often give prolong prophylaxis which is acknowledge in the article "extended prophylaxis (vs standard) was associated with significantly increased C difficile risk" This is an opportunity for improvement Thanks for sharing the article I tweeted about it @IDPharmD

    Nobody does what she is used as an example in her clinical vignette( the appendicitis case that resulted in c difficile).. This is what happens when you have pharmacists, who don't treat patients try to lecture others on the proper use of medications. They use improbable scenarios and influence no one.
