Frequency of Diarrhea, Stool Specimen Collection and Testing, and Detection of Clostridioides Difficile Infection Among Hospitalized Adults in the Muenster/Coesfeld Area, Germany

Natalie Effelsberg et al.

Summary: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) commonly presents as diarrhea, especially in older adults or those with underlying comorbidities. However, only severe cases are reported in Germany. Insufficient stool specimen collection and CDI testing among hospitalized diarrhea patients may lead to underdiagnosis and underreporting of CDI. A study conducted in nine hospitals in Germany revealed suboptimal rates of stool specimen collection and CDI testing among diarrhea patients, indicating that the incidence of CDI in Germany is likely underestimated.

Bibliometric analysis of peer-reviewed literature on antimicrobial stewardship from 1990 to 2019

Waleed M. Sweileh

Summary: The study revealed a significant increase in global research activity on antimicrobial stewardship in the past decade. The Americas had the highest number of publications, while the Eastern Mediterranean region had the least. The United States ranked first in terms of publication and citation counts, with research focusing on the impact of AMS on hospital length stay, the role of pharmacists, and resistance development of various pathogens.

Ahmed Mohamed Mostafa Abdrabou et al.

Summary: Clostridioides difficile is a major cause of nosocomial diarrhea in developed nations like Germany, with certain genotypes such as RT027 driving resistance to antibiotics like rifampicin and metronidazole.Continuous surveillance efforts are crucial in monitoring and addressing resistance patterns observed in these strains.

Summary: Analysis of 2017 National Inpatient Sample data revealed that CDI hospitalization rates were highest in the elderly over 85 years old, with higher rates in females than males and in the Northeast compared to the West. Fluid and electrolyte disturbances and renal failure were the most common comorbidities associated with CDI hospitalizations.
