<i>Clostridioides difficile</i> infection and antibiotic prescribing at a regional hospital in Australia: a case–control study
Our study showed that antibiotic prescribing practices were associated with hospital-acquired CDI at the hospital during the study period. The results reinforce the importance of compliance with antibiotic guidelines and provide further evidence for AMS programs to reduce CDI.
