As a result, further research is necessary to study the long term effective outcomes of FMT. Prognosis
After a first treatment with metronidazole or vancomycin, C. difficile recurs in about 20% of people. This increases to 40% and 60% with subsequent recurrences. Epidemiology
C. difficile diarrhea is estimated to occur in eight of 100,000 people each year. Among those who are admitted to hospital, it occurs in between four and eight people per 1,000. In 2011, it resulted in about half a million infections and 29,000 deaths in the United States.Due in part to the emergence of a fluoroquinolone-resistant strain, C. difficile-related deaths increased 400% between 2000 and 2007 in the United States. According to the CDC, "C. difficile has become the most common microbial cause of healthcare-associated infections in U.S. hospitals and costs up to $4.8 billion each year in excess health care costs for acute care facilities alone." History
Ivan C. Hall and Elizabeth OToole first named the bacterium Bacillus difficilis in 1935, choosing its specific epithet because it was resistant to early attempts at isolation and grew very slowly in culture. André Romain Prévot subsequently transferred it to the genus Clostridium, which made its binomen Clostridium difficile. Its combination was later changed to Clostridiodes difficile after being transferred to the new genus Clostridioides.Pseudomembranous colitis first was described as a complication of C. difficile infection in 1978, when a toxin was isolated from people with pseudomembranous colitis and Kochs postulates were met.
