Clostridium difficile bacteria
Clostridium difficile bacteria. Colonies of C. difficile bacteria after 48 hours growth on blood agar. These Gram positive,rod-shaped bacteria cause pseudomembranous colitis,one of the most common hospital-acquired infections,and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. It is becoming increasingly resistant to the antibiotics used to treat it. The infection is often caught from bacterial spores,which are formed in unfavourable conditions. When a patient takes a course of antibiotics the normal flora in their gut is killed off,allowing C. difficile to colonise it. It produces 2 toxins,which cause inflammation of the intestinal wall (colitis) with diarrhoea,abdominal pain and fever. Infection can be fatal
