Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) remains a substantial worldwide burden on healthcare systems, despite significant research and investment over the past four decades. We extend a warm invitation for comprehensive studies focusing on C. difficile isolation, characterization, and epidemiology in humans, animals, and the environment.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: AMR transmission and assessment, environmental sampling, animal transmission/infection studies, antimicrobial prescribing studies and their effect on C. difficile infection, transmission and carriage in humans and animals, and assessment of C. difficile contamination of foodstuffs. We also welcome submissions involving fundamental science laboratory studies, in vivo animal and human studies, or modeling studies.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Simon D. Baines
Guest Editor
