A total of 112 sites participated in the COMBACTE-CDI sample testing study. Thanks to all sites for their contribution! This was the final question in our #CDifficile Awareness quiz. How did you do? Check our infographic: combacte.com/news/combacte-c… #cdiffmonth @cdiffFoundation
What's better than starting the weekend a quiz! And give it your best effort, it is the last one during #CDiffMonth. How many sites participated in the COMBACTE-CDI #sample #testing #study? @kerrieanndavies @cdiffFoundation @CDiffAwareness

@MEAKraker, epidimiologist @Hopitaux_unige, is familiar with #CDifficile. Now the #oppurtunity arose to do #research on #CDI by participating in the coming COMBACTE study MICROCARE. We asked her view on #CDI during #Cdiffmonth.

COMBACTE #EPINet aimed to contribute to the #CDI #research, mapping all CDI surveillance systems included in the EPI-Net repository! Read the blog of EPI-Net now! combacte.com/blogs/european-… @EveTacconelli @IMI_JU @cdiffFoundation @CDiffAwareness #CDiffmonth @UniVerona @uktuebingen

And the answer was........ 8 days! In the community it takes peope 5x longer to submit a sample, suggesting peope either take a longer time to seek medical care and/or don't test for CDI in this setting. #Cdiffmonth @CDiffAwareness @kerrieanndavies @IMI_JU @cdiffFoundation
Todays quiz: #CDiffInfection: In Europe, hospitals take an average of 2 days of diarrhea before submitting a sample. How many more days does it take for people with community CDI to do this? #Cdiffawareness #Cdiffmonth @IMI_JU @kerrieanndavies

Did you tick the box of 3,5x? You were right! Check out the COMBACTE-CDI infographic on more info combacte.com/news/combacte-c… #CdiffMonth @IMI_JU @cdiffFoundation @kerrieanndavies @HCAILeeds #Cdiffawareness
Another quiz to think about over the weekend: There are ..... more undiagnosed CDI-cases in the community than in hospitals. Got the answer? Let us know! #CdiffMonth @IMI_JU @cdiffFoundation @kerrieanndavies @HCAILeeds #Cdiffawareness

Since 2012 @IMI_JU has been at the forefront of efforts to combat #antimicrobialresistance in Europe through private-public partnerships. C. difficile deserved IMI's particular attention. A blog from IMI Scientific Officer Nathalie Seigneuret: combacte.com/blogs/imi-inves… #CdiffMonth

Why is #Cdiffinfection research crucial? During #Cdiffmonth we asked why members of the COMBACTE-CDI consortium think it is. Read the success of @EdKuijper2 @LUMC_Leiden @rivm @ECDC_EU

Why is #Cdiffinfection research crucial? According to COMBACTE-CDI management board member @MarcBonten "CDI is an important consequence of broad-spectrum #antibiotics. COMBACTE-CDI provides more insights in clonal transmission & occurrence in non-hospitalized persons" #Cdiffmonth

November is Clostridium difficile Awareness Month. Did you know exposure to empiric antibiotics for 48 hours or longer can lead to a 3x greater risk of #Cdiff infection? See the study from Seddon et al. (2019): doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciy863

We’ve learnt so much since then, and there is still more to learn to enable us to improve diagnosis and management of patients with #Cdiff #Cdiffmonth
Hard to believe it was 3 years ago that COMBACTE-CDI was kicked off to develop a detailed understanding of the #epidemiology and #clinicalimpact of #Cdifficile infection across Europe. Since then, we've come a long way: combacte.com/news/3-years-co… @IMI_JU @kerrieanndavies #Cdiffmonth
