In the latest edition of Beyond the Guidelines, an infectious diseases specialist and a gastroenterologist discuss antibiotic treatment options for nonsevere Clostridioides difficile, the role of fecal microbiota transplantation for fulminant disease, and the use of bezlotoxumab to prevent recurrence.
