The FDA warns that “in patients with a history of congestive heart failure (CHF), bezlotoxumab should be reserved for use when the benefit outweighs the risk.” Data on the use of bezlotoxumab when fidaxomicin is used as the SOC antibiotic are limited.

In settings where logistics is not an issue, patients with a primary CDI episode and other risk factors for CDI recurrence (such as age ≥65 years, immunocompromised host, and severe CDI on presentation) may particularly benefit from receiving bezlotoxumab. Comment: This recommendation places a high value on potential clinical benefits, but implementation is often limited by feasibility considerations. For patients with a recurrent CDI episode within the last 6 months, we suggest using bezlotoxumab as a co-intervention along with SOC antibiotics rather than SOC antibiotics alone (conditional recommendation, very low certainty of evidence).

A detailed description of background, methods, evidence summary and rationale that support each recommendation, and knowledge gaps can be found online in the full text. The panel followed a systematic process which included a standardized methodology for rating the certainty of the evidence and strength of recommendation using the GRADE approach (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation). Summarized below are the recommendations for the management of CDI in adults. The panel’s recommendations for the management CDI are based upon evidence derived from topic-specific systematic literature reviews. This guideline is intended for use by healthcare professionals who care for adults with CDI, including specialists in infectious diseases, gastroenterologists, hospitalists, pharmacists, and any clinicians and healthcare providers caring for these patients. This guideline was developed by a multidisciplinary panel representing the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA).
