Pseudomembranous Enterocolitis: Prevention

Prevention, general

  • Hygiene measures
  • Restrictive use of antibiotics

Preventive measures in case of illness

  • Isolation of the patient (de-isolation can be done after 48 h without diarrhea, if necessary).
  • Wearing gloves; protective gowns for patient contact; in addition to hand disinfection, washing hands with soap, as alcohol-based disinfectants do not have sufficient effect against spores
