Study finds Bacterial infection's spread in-spite of health care settings

According to the researchers from Oxford University, it has been proved that the Clostridium difficile is a contagious bacterium that spreads easily from one person to another. This British study have brought forward the real concern that the spreading of this infection takes place outside hospital and nursing home in-spite after the patients are treated and released from hospitals. The results point out that the prompt epidemiologists and the public health experts should search potential solutions for this infection. The people infected by this problem should take proper precautions so that it does not spread to other people. The co-author of the study, David Eyre, a research microbiologist at Oxford University's experimental medicine division discusses the real picture that, “Unexpectedly few cases—13 percent—appear to be acquired from direct ward-based contact with other symptomatic cases. These have previously been thought to be the main source of infections, and the focus of prevention efforts.”
