Abstract

Although theoretically the spectrum of antimicrobial quinolone antibiotics are at low risk of producing Clostridium difficile overgrowth and diarrhea, a patient developed this clinical problem while receiving norfloxacin. We review the antimicrobial activity of the quinolone antibiotics, with respect to their predisposition for producing C. difficile-induced diarrhea.
