Sponsor's own description

A higher frequency of recurrences in the University Hospital of Cabueñes (HUCAB) than in other hospitals in our area, including Central University Hospital of Asturias (HUCA) has been found. This increase does not seem to be related to underlying diseases, age, sex or predisposing factors classically described in this type of infection. This high rate of recurrence, together with the absence of response to all conventionally used antibiotic treatments, has important repercussions in the morbidity and mortality of patients, in the ecology of the hospital due to the risk of transmission of a strain of major severity and in the high costs associated with an increase in the hospitalization days of these patients, as well as in an eventual transfer of these to other structures specialized in fecal transplantation. Two hypotheses are proposed to explain the higher frequency reported: Hypothesis 1. There are alterations of the microbiome in patients with severe recurrences that favor the appearance of these. Hypothesis 2. The circulating strain in the hospital has intrinsic characteristics that make it more virulent, such as the presence of virulence or multiresistance factors. For this reason we design a descriptive, prospective multicentric study that will include all patients older than 18 years diagnosed with C difficile infection at the Central University Hospital of Asturias and the University Hospital of Cabueñes during the year 2020-2021
