Resumo: "Clostridioides difficile is a gram positive, strict anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium. It can be found in several ecosystems, due to the existence of highly resistant forms, the endospores, however the vegetative form is commonly associated to the gastrointestinal tract, of different animal species. Hosts colonization takes place primarily by the oral route, through ingestion of spores and the main mode of transmission between hosts is via the oro-fecal route. At the same time, airborne transmission and hosts contamination may occur via nasal-oral route, however this alternative route of infection is still under discussion, being only accepted by a minority of authors.(...)"
