Study PopulationThis prospective observational study will enrol 60 otherwise healthy adults with a documented history of first recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI). Eligible participants must have had a confirmed positive toxin B test for C. difficile, with the initial infection occurring within the past 12 months. At the time of enrolment (Day 0), participants must have completed a standard-of-care oral antibiotic therapy for their first rCDI no more than five days prior and be asymptomatic for CDI. Potential participants will sign an informed consent form at their initial visit to their doctor (visit 1) and provide a stool sample for c diff testing. Participants will only be considered 'enrolled' if their stool sample is positive for toxin B and they meet all criteria at visit 2.
