Abstract
A case-control study was conducted to determine risk factors for hospital-onset Clostridium difficile infection among patients admitted to 2 surgical units. Ertapenem prophylaxis was significantly associated with C. difficile infection risk (odds ratio, 3.13 [95% CI, 1.13-8.68], P=.028) and may offer an antimicrobial stewardship target among surgical patients.Entities:
