In healthcare settings, Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile (C. diff), whose symptoms range from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon has emerged as a significant threat. C. diff can be found on surfaces, devices, or material (e.g. commodes, bathing tubs, etc.) that becomes contaminated with feces. In its endospore form, C. diff can remain viable on surfaces for several weeks, even months. C. diff spores are transferred to patients mainly via the hands of healthcare personnel who have touched a contaminated surface or item.
