ROCHESTER, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is the one of the leading pathogens causing hospital-acquired infection in the United States. It may cause diarrhea, colitis, sepsis and lead to prolonged hospitalization and death. Mayo Clinic researchers say they’ve found a way to reduce the acquisition of this infection and drop its frequency to a fraction of what it had been.
