Abstract We assessed the effectiveness of a Lactobacillus probiotic on rates of health care facility–onset Clostridium difficile infection (HO-CDI) in patients receiving antibiotics. A total of 1576 patients were evaluated. There was no difference in the HO-CDI incidence between those who received probiotics and those who did not (1.8% vs 0.9%; P = .16).

Survey Responses

Background and Aims. Studies have shown effects of diet on gut microbiota. We aimed to identify foods associated with recurrentClostridium difficileinfection (CDI).Methods. In this cross-sectional survey, consecutive patients diagnosed with CDI were identified by electronic medical records. Colitis symptoms and positiveClostridium difficileassay were confirmed. Health-care onset-health-care facility associated CDI was excluded. Food surveys were mailed to 411 patients. Survey responses served as the primary outcome measure. Spearman’s rank correlation identified risk factors for CDI recurrence.Results. Surveys were returned by 68 patients. Nineteen patients experienced CDI recurrence. Compared to patients without CDI recurrence, patients with CDI recurrence had more antibiotics prescribed preceding their infection (p=0.003). Greater numbers of the latter also listed tea (p=0.002), coffee (p=0.013), and eggs (p=0.013), on their 24-hour food recall. Logistic regression identified tea as the only food risk factor for CDI recurrence (adjusted OR: 5.71; 95% CI: 1.26–25.89).Conclusion. The present results indicate a possible association between tea and CDI recurrence. Additional studies are needed to characterize and confirm this association.
