Abstract

Children exposed to antibiotics develop community-associated Clostridioides difficile infections in the 12 weeks following exposure. This secondary analysis was a retrospective review of children with filled prescriptions for commonly prescribed antibiotics between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2016. Compared with amoxicillin, incident rates of community-associated Clostridioides difficile infections were highest following clindamycin, cephalosporins, and amoxicillin-clavulanate.
