C difficile is a gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic bacillus that was first linked to disease in 1978, when it was identified as the causative agent of seudomembranous colitis. It has been associated with gastrointestinal infections ranging in severity from asymptomatic colonization to severe diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis, toxic megacolon, intestinal perforation, and death.”

The above transcript stems from a growing range of publications which discuss the need for hospitals and nursing homes to reduce the risk of C DIFF, through selective steps which are mostly supported by Curas product, e.g. disposable bed pan & urine bottles, aprons, disposable gloves and hand wash & disinfection, just to mention a few but critical products in the ever intensifying battle against the spread of C DIFF in high density, modern healthcare facilities.
