RESUMO
Clostridium (or Clostridioides) difficile infection (CDI) is a common side effect of antimicrobial therapy and is increasingly linked with health care-associated transmissions. Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) have demonstrated success in decreasing in-hospital CDI cases. We implemented an ASP targeting inappropriate or unnecessary use of all antibiotics especially empiric piperacillin-tazobactam and fluoroquinolone use. Concurrently, we monitored all health-care associated CDI. Our CDI cases were markedly decreased after initiation of our ASP.
