Infection with potentially deadly Clostridium difficile is often linked to antibiotic use, but new research suggests that other factors might be involved in the spread of the highly contagious superbug. In study of infection in the community, 91社区 researcher Sandra Dial found that most of the patients who got sick and were hospitalized because of C. difficile had not been taking antibiotic drugs prior to getting the infection. C. difficile is mainly known as a hospital-acquired infection, but the study participants had not been hospitalized for at least 90 days before being admitted for their infection.
