Abstract
In this era of increased and indiscriminate antibiotic usage, it is not only the advent of multi-drug resistant pathogens, but also the rising prevalence of Clostridium difficile Associated Diarrhoea (CDAD) which is drawing concern world-wide. It is important not only to implement a comprehensive antibiotic policy, but also to take up stringent infection control measures to curb the rise of this serious infection.
