"C. diff "is an increasingly antibiotic polymyalgia resistant bacteria that is causing concern in both hospitals and communities around variety. It is gaining attention polymyalgia as more problematic than the very dangerous strain of bacteria MRSA. C. diff causes infections in the colon or large intestine called C. diff colitis. The colon or large intestine is responsible for the reabsorption of water and salts from solid wastes before they are eliminated from the body. This part of the intestine is aided by normal flora bacteria. This normal flora ferments unabsorbed material and also protects the colon of opportunistic bacteria such as C. diff.
What is C. diff and what are the symptoms? C. diff, short for Clostridium Hindi, is a type of bacterium that causes inflammation of the colon, also known as C. diff colitis. A person experiences C. diff colitis may suffer from diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever due to intestinal inflammation. In severe cases, C. diff can cause watery diarrhea 10 to 15 times, severe abdominal cramps and pain day, fever, blood or pus in the stool, nausea, dehydration, loss of appetite and weight loss. If left untreated, this can lead to perforation of the colon, septicemia or blood poisoning, peritonitis, or infection of the lining of the abdomen and in the worst cases, death.
Where does the C. diff? So where contract these bacteria? The gut contains good bacteria that help in the fermentation of solid waste and the production of vitamins. Good bacteria help maintain polymyalgia a strong immune system. However, when you take antibiotics, kill bacteria, even the good bacteria in your gut. This disturbs normal colon ecology and therefore can lead to growth or overgrowth of C. diff.
But where does makes C. diff? Do we harbor these bacteria in? Or do we do for our environment? Is it contagious or C. diff occur naturally in our system? Some health professionals believe that c. diff is a natural bacteria polymyalgia in our colon that have just neglected due to antibiotic therapy. But this may not be the case. According to some studies, only 5% of the population is colonized with C. diff. However, the subjects of the studies may have been infected at the time temporarily. So it is still unclear whether C. diff is part of the natural polymyalgia flora bacteria for our digestive system.
Is Contagious C. diff? If you do not have C. diff naturally in our guts, how this infection out? C. diff has two forms, C. diff infectious asset that can not survive in an environment over a long period and a non-active, non-infectious form that can survive in the environment for a long period of time. This non-infectious form of the bacteria is called "spore". These spores remain non-infectious but if and when they reach the intestine so can grow in the infectious form of the bacterium. The spores can be found almost anywhere: on bedpans, furniture, toilet seats, linens, telephones, stethoscopes, Keyboards, nails, rings (jewelery), flats, rooms infants and diaper pails. Spores track objects like these from contact with the feces of infected people (think not washing hands after using the bathroom). So, yes, it is contagious. Research also shows that diffusion in air of C. difficile occurs commonly but sporadically.
Is it contagious airborne exposure C. diff? If the spores are in the air we breathe contracted polymyalgia this infection? Is it contagious polymyalgia air C. diff? There are two things that must happen to be infected by C. diff. First, you have to ingest C. diff spores. Second, the ecological balance of the normal bacteria that live in your colon needs to be disturbed in order to start a C. diff infection. There is no evidence that C. diff can be contracted by inhalation. But it's very important, because these bacteria polymyalgia can travel through the air, it can be abundantly found in soils and surfaces in the room of an infected person. When these surfaces are touched and these spores are ingested, C. diff colitis can occur.
Therefore, proper hand washing and sanitation living polymyalgia in hospitals or in the room of an infected person is a necessity to prevent the spread of these bacteria. Always wash your hands before touching your mouth after using the bathroom polymyalgia (especially if you are infected). The best protection measures are often reinforcing its natural defenses against superbug infections like C. diff. Avoid antibiotics if at all possible m
