Abstract
Clostridium difficile infection is a common cause of diarrhea in long-term care facility (LTCF) patients. The high prevalence of C difficile infection in LTCFs noted in our study calls for a critical need to educate LTCF staff to send diarrheal stool for C difficile testing to identify more cases and prevent transmission.
摘要
艰难梭菌感染是长期护理机构（LTCF）患者腹泻的常见原因。我们的研究中指出，LTCF 中艰难梭菌感染的高患病率表明迫切需要对 LTCF 工作人员进行教育，以便通过送检腹泻粪便进行艰难梭菌检测来发现更多病例并防止传播。
