The incidence of Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection (CDI) is 1.8%-5.7% in admitted patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). CDI can worsen UC and increase the risk for colectomy or even death, thus necessitating therapy escalation, such as increasing the corticoid therapy or starting a biologic treatment.
Common pathologic bacteria causing bacterial colitis include Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia, and Yersinia species. The primary source of transmission is fecal-oral spread and ingestion of contaminated food and water.
