Webinar Series on Clostridioides difficile (C.difficile)
Clostridioides (previously known as Clostridium) difficile (C. difficile) is a key cause of healthcare-associated infections and poses a substantial public health threat that carries high morbidity and mortality rates, especially amongst affected elderly patients (more than 65 years). C. difficile infection (CDI) also places a considerable burden on healthcare systems worldwide, with up to one-third of patients who develop an initial episode of CDI subsequently going on to develop a recurrence.
While there is widespread scientific literature regarding CDI, there is still a need to better inform the wider medical community on the importance of recognising the microbiome-mediated nature of CDI and how different treatment modalities available can help to resolve the condition and/or restore the gut microbiota to avoid recurrence.
In a series of 7 webinar ESNM and GMFH develop a full picture of the C. difficile infection (CDI) reaching from the importance of a healthy gut microbiota, to its detection and testing methods to current and future therapeutic approaches.
The course is held by a distinguished Faculty with expertise in the fields of neurogastroenterology, functional gastrointestinal disorders and microbiota. ESNM aim is to promote the dissemination of information and stimulate interesting live discussions that would ultimately improve the healthcare of our patients.
