A member asked:
Can my 9 wk baby be treated for toxigenic c. diff?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pls see below: Many babies are colonized with c.Diff bacteria without actually becoming ill with the disease. As the good bacteria in the gut grow in number, they help to provide a defense against disease. An article on the topic is found at http://bit.Ly/asmtip1213a babies can transmit the illness to the elderly who may become ill with c diff.
