Discover Relief From C. Difficile Infections

Mayo Clinic physicians are at the forefront of developing new treatments for C. difficile infection, including clinical trials, oral drug therapies and fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) therapies. A team of digestive disease specialists comprising gastroenterologists, nurses, study coordinators and laboratory medicine specialists works together to evaluate, diagnose and treat your condition.

Your physician will test for C. difficile with the polymerase chain reaction test. The high sensitivity of this test offers faster, more-accurate results than those of more common C. difficile tests. Faster diagnosis means prompter treatment, the opportunity for improved outcomes, and reduced risk of infection spreading.

If you have a recurrent or stubborn C. difficile infection, you may need FMT therapy. Mayo Clinic fecal transplants offer a success rate higher than 90 percent.
