| Summary: | <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> is an urgent public health threat that affects approximately half a million patients annually in the United States. Despite concerted efforts aimed at the prevention of <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> infection (CDI), it remains a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections. CDI is associated with significant clinical, social, and economic burdens. Therefore, it is imperative to provide optimal and timely therapy for CDI. We conducted a systematic literature review and offer treatment recommendations based on available evidence for the treatment and prevention of CDI. |
