Clostridioides difficile is the most common causative agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. This spore forming, obligate anaerobic, gram-positive bacillus is becoming responsible for an increasing number of infections worldwide, both in community and in hospital settings, whose severity can vary widely from an asymptomatic infection to a lethal disease. While discontinuation of antimicrobial agents and antibiotic treatment of the infection remain the cornerstone of therapy, more recent fecal microbiota transplantation has also been valid as a therapy. The use of probiotics, especially Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 have become valid forms of prevention therapy. Although there are studies in adults with microbiota-targeted new generation therapies and Clostridium difficile vaccines, there are no data in the paediatric age group yet.
