  • Title: Strategies for prevention of Clostridium difficile infection.
    Author: Dubberke E.
    Journal: J Hosp Med; 2012 Mar; 7 Suppl 3():S14-7. PubMed ID: 22407995.
    Abstract:
    Infection control is the most essential component of an effective overall management strategy for prevention of nosocomial Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). The cornerstones of CDI prevention are appropriate contact precautions and strict hand hygiene. Other important tactics are effective environmental cleaning, identification and removal of environmental sources of C. difficile, and antibiotic stewardship. Hospitalists, as coordinators of care for each patient and advocates for quality care, can spearhead these efforts.
