BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Rifaximin (RFX) has recently been suggested as an alternative treatment option for Clostridioides difficile infection. This study reports the survey on RFX susceptibility within a C. difficile test cohort that represents the five clinically relevant phylogenetic clades. METHODS: Agar dilution assays were conducted to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of RFX for 129...
