摘要: Importance of the field: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is associated with consumption antibiotics which disrupt normal microbial flora gut, allowing C. to establish itself and produce disease. Currently, only vancomycin or metronidazole are recommended for treatment many patients suffer from relapse on infection. Hence, there a need new options.Areas covered in this review: This review evaluates five agents development where focus CDI.What reader will gain: gives up-to-date information fidaxomicin, REP3123, oritavancin, NVB302 nitazoxanide their likelihood being licensed CDI.Take home message: One agent, has undergone Phase III clinical trials show it be promising agent CDI low rate relapse. Nitazoxanide parasitic intestinal infections but not CDI. However, small scale...
