Regional epidemiologic data call for enhanced attention to Clostridioides difficile infections in Italy: Results from a population-based study

Considering the unfavorable trend and high mortality, measures to reduce the risk of CDI would be indicated, particularly in hospital and elderly home care settings where vulnerable patients concentrate.
