Contrary to national reports, rates of healthcare facility-onset Clostridioides difficile infection across an 11-hospital system rose after the spring of 2020, when New York City was the epicenter for the COVID-19 pandemic. Antibiotic pressure from an escalation in cephalosporin usage correlated with this increase. The majority of cases of Clostridioides difficile were in patients without COVID-19, suggesting the pandemic has adversely impacted the healthcare of other inpatients.
与全国报告相反，在2020年春季纽约市成为新冠疫情中心之后，一个由11家医院组成的医疗系统中，医疗机构获得性艰难梭菌感染率有所上升。头孢菌素使用量增加带来的抗生素压力与此增加相关。大多数艰难梭菌病例发生在未感染新冠的患者中，这表明疫情对其他住院患者的医疗保健产生了不利影响。
