C. difficile diarrhea may be treated with a course of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor and taken by mouth. Once you have completed treatment and diarrhea is resolved, your infection is no longer contagious and you no longer need to take any special precautions.
How long is a person contagious with C. diff after starting antibiotics?
When a person is "infectious", it means they're able to pass their infection on to others. You're usually no longer infectious 24 hours after starting a course of antibiotics, but this time period can sometimes vary.
WHEN CAN C. diff isolation be discontinued?
How long will I stay in isolation and need these precautions? Once the diarrhoea has settled for a minimum period of 48 hours, you will no longer be considered infectious.
