| pubmed:abstractText |
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has emerged as a problem of epidemic proportions. Previous exposure to broad-spectrum antibiotics remains the most important predisposing factor for the disease. However, PPIs are increasingly being overprescribed and recent research has, therefore, focused on the association between PPI therapy and CDI. While the data remain observational, increasing evidence exists for at least a modest association between PPI use and CDI.
