We studied healthcare-associated and community-associated Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in Jersey, Channel Islands (2008-2012). The Island's stable population has reliable denominator data, a clearly defined at-risk population, and healthcare contact that is easily followed. The vast majority of CDI cases had had recent healthcare contact, and true community-associated disease is extremely rare.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2018;39:603-607.
