ABSTRACT
Recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI) may be mediated in part by secondary bile acids. Here we report salvage therapy with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to prevent rCDI in 16 high-risk patients. Patients on UDCA had a low observed recurrence rate (12.5%). Controlled trials are needed to confirm these observations.
