Hi friends,

Once someone is exposed to cdiff, what is the incubation period for the infection to manifest?

Many thanks in advance!

Google it.
Incubation period is not relevant though because unless you immune system (gut flora) is compromised exposure to C. Diff does not cause disease.
We are all "exposed" to C. Diff very often, even on the food we eat.
