Curing Clostridium by Controlling Antibiotics

As per a new research it was proved that Clostridium infection could be controlled by controlling or curbing antibiotics. This research was conducted by the University of Leeds, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust and Oxford University. Clostridium infection can cause very severe problems including diarrhea, stomach diseases, cramps and other complications. The co-author of the study, Dr David Eyre, co-author of the study explains that, “People usually become ill with C. diff after taking antibiotics, because antibiotics don't just kill "bad" bugs but also "good" bugs in the gut, allowing the resistant C. diff to take over. One explanation for all types of C. diff going down is that using antibiotics more carefully can prevent people becoming ill with C. diff even if they are exposed to it. Our study indicates that restricting the use of antibiotics may be more effective in reducing the number people who fall ill with C.diff than lowering transmission rates through infection control measures.”
