Antibiotic Resistance happens when bacteria or fungi become resistant to the antibiotic drugs used to treat infections. These resistant bacteria and fungi, called multidrug resistant organisms or MDROs, are difficult and sometimes impossible to control with currently available antibiotics. Per a CDC report, in the United States more than 2.8 million antimicrobial resistant infections occur every year.

Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is a type of bacteria that causes an infection in the colon by emitting toxins that damage colonic tissue. C. difficile is common, and infects about half a million people in the United States every year.
