Clostridium Difficile represents one of the major challenges of the antimicrobial era with associated significant morbidity. Treatment options are limited to a number of specific antibiotics with significant failure rates. Faecal Microbiota Transplantation has been recognised as a possible treatment option when standard therapy fails. We report a local case of Clostridium Difficile Infection ultimately requiring Faecal Microbiota Transplantation with good success. While no formal service providing the treatment is available within Northern Ireland it is a feasible treatment option for Clostridium Difficile Infection.
艰难梭菌是抗菌时代的主要挑战之一，会引发严重的发病率。治疗选择仅限于几种特定抗生素，且失败率很高。当标准疗法失败时，粪便微生物群移植已被视为一种可能的治疗选择。我们报告了一例本地艰难梭菌感染病例，最终需要进行粪便微生物群移植并取得了良好效果。虽然北爱尔兰没有提供这种治疗的正规服务，但它是治疗艰难梭菌感染的一种可行选择。
