<h4>Background: </h4> Toxin-producing strains of Clostridioides difficile are the most commonly identified cause of healthcare-associated infection in the elderly. Risk factors include advanced age, hospitalisation, prior or concomitant systemic antibacterial therapy, chemotherapy, and gastrointestinal surgery.
