Knowledge, attitudes and practice regarding Clostridium difficile: a survey of physicians in an academic medical center.

Eugene Fayerberg1, Jacques Bouchard, Susan M Kellie.   

Abstract

Using current guidelines, we surveyed physicians at our hospital to ascertain knowledge, attitudes, and practice regarding Clostridium difficile infection. The survey identified significant gaps in knowledge and practice. Infection control professionals should include physician education on Clostridium difficile infection diagnosis, isolation precautions, and treatment as part of a comprehensive control program.
