What Causes An Infection Of The Colon?
Saturday, November 6th, 2010The words “colon infection” can actually refer to a variety of problems related to the human colon.
When used by medical professionals however, these words usually refer to an infection caused by the Clostridium difficile bacteria (also called C. difficile or just C. diff).
A C. diff colon infection happens most often to older adults when they’re in the hospital or when they live in a long term care facility. This is due to the fact that they’re usually taking antibiotics.
