Who gives a shit!...

Most hospital acquired C-diff is in patients who have had long courses of antibiotics for various problems and have completely upset the balance of gut bacteria by killing off the bugs that usually keep C-diff in check.

Shit transfusions make a huge amount of sense, even though they're often very distressful to the poor patient. They have to call it probiotics and hide the bag from the patient. Still, it tends to work better than more antibiotics will.

What they really need to do is refine out the friendly bacteria and put them into capsules to be taken by anyone on long term, high dose antibiotics.

The best treatment for c-diff is likely prevention.
