A member asked:
What is clostridium difficile infection rate of spread?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on how sick the initial patient is, how sick the exposed patients are, and how aware of infection control the care providers are. In wards where it is allowed to run wild, it can spread throughout the entire ward in a matter of days.
