Antimicrobial-associated diarrhea is often caused by Clostridium
difficile; this disease can best be diagnosed by detection of fecal
cytotoxin in a tissue culture assay and, when therapy is indicated,
can be effectively treated with orally administered vancomycin. The
cause of disease in most cases of antimicrobial-associated diarrhea
that do not involve C. difficile is not known; fortunately, this
form of diarrhea 1S usually mild. Antimicrobial-associated diarrhea
may also rarely involve s. aureus and certain enteric pathogens. 37

Honour Introduction In view of the mounting evidence generated
world wide in the last few years that firmly implicates GBP.
difficile as the aetiological agent in both antibiotic and
non-antibiotic associated pseudomembranous colitis (Larson ~ al. ,
1978, Bartlett ~ al. , 1978a, George ~ al. , 1978a), and also
recent recognition of the fact that there may be a spectrum of
gastrointestinal diseases associated with GBP. difficile infections
(Borriello and Larson, 1981, Bolton ~ al. , 1980, Brettle ~ al. ,
1982), an increasing number of laboratories are seeking to detect,
isolate and identify GBP. difficile from clinical samples.
