Researchers say that a type of C. difficile is well-adapted to survive in hospitals, and it's on the verge of becoming a new species.

Canadian hospitals are getting better at preventing C. difficile infections, according to a new study.

A new study says medications like Nexium and Zantac could be impacting important gut bacteria and causing infections.

You may remember Angus the C. difficile sniffing dog. The pooch was Vancouver General Hospital's pilot project to see if a dog could sniff out the dangerous superbug, which is the most common cause of infectious diarrhea in hospitals and long-term care facilities. He is now fully certified and is now Canada’s first C. difficile sniffing dog.
