A member asked:
Are people with c.diff infection treated successfully either with antibiotics or fecal transplant forever colonized and become a lifelong carrier?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
C. difficile bacteria are present in the normal flora of everybody's gut. Yes, after the treatment with antibiotics or fecal transplant the bacteria still persist but patient is not considered a carrier. Take care.
