Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We have established two successful editions of the Special Issue “Clostridioides difficile Infection”. There are over twenty excellent papers published. These papers shed light on several aspects of this complex disease, including the clinical course of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) and the mortality rate in different settings and patient populations, in addition to the risk factors for CDI recurrence and novel therapeutic approaches. This result encouraged us to launch a third edition on the same topic.
As a continuation of the previous Special Issues, this third edition will also deliver an invaluable compendium of the latest studies on any aspects concerning CDI.
Dr. Guido Granata
Guest Editor
