Consultant Medical Microbiologist on Twitter, tweeting from conference:
‘There has been a 25% increase in C diff cases in U.K. but 10% increase in mortality - not yet similar findings in other countries. Prof Wilcox #IPC23.

Ribotypes stable - so what is driving it?’
Possible that it’s (at least partly) due to consultants who STILL think Metronidazole is correct treatment? Worrying trend regardless. Phage treatment needed asap.
