Our objective of this study is to derive a real incidence of CDI in tertiary hospitals located through Korean peninsula. In order to get a close value to the truth, the study is planned to co-perform with a national study which was proposed in evaluation process to include more hospitals. Along with the incidence of CDI, clinical characteristics and outcome of CDI will be examined and microbiologic characteristics of C. difficile isolates from CDI patients are studied.
