Fidaxomicin: A novel agent for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection
Oral vancomycin and oral metronidazole have several limitations with regard to their use in the treatment of Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs); however, oral vancomycin has been considered the gold standard in clinical trials. In June 2012, fidaxomicin received Health Canada approval for the treatment of CDIs. Its chemistry, mechanisms of action and pharmacological properties are discussed, along with its potential role in CDI therapy.
