Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a single center collection of discarded biological samples and electronic medical review (EMR) data on patients who are hospitalized with clostridium difficile infections and treated with Fidaxomicin

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This single site study will be a clinical research data base of patients hospitalized and diagnosed with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), treated with Fidaxomicin and willing to allow us to collect discard biological samples for testing and analysis in the investigators lab. An additional blood sample will be obtained if a clinically indicated bronchoscopy is performed as to measure the amount of medication in the BAL. We will also complete a medical record review will also occur.
