Abstract

The treatment of infections caused by Clostridium difficile requires a comprehensive approach. The administration of antibiotics of choice (vancomycin or metronidazole) is crucial. The choice of particular agents is based on the severity and course of the disease. Besides antibiotics, alternative approaches continue to be of interest, especially in forms inadequately responding to antibiotic therapy and in case of recurring infections.
