Needed somewhere to post my project. I'm no professional but one day I will be better at putting audio together. C. diff are bacteria (germs) that cause diarrhea and colitis (an inflammation of the colon). C. diff infections can be life-threatening. They are obligate anaerobic, gram-positive rods, measuring 3–5 μm in length and 0.5 μm in width. They are capsulated, motile by peritrichous flagella and sporulating in nature. Some strains that also contain C. difficile bacteria enter the body through the mouth. It is estimated to cause almost half a million infections in the United States each year. C. diff can affect anyone. Most cases of C. diff occur when you have been taking antibiotics or not long after you have finished taking antibiotics.
