Write a mini review on Clostridium difficile disease and diagnosis. Write scientifically as though your audience will be relatively inexperienced Pathology staff with some but limited knowledge of C. difficile, and this will be an “update” and “refresher” for them. Use the following headings within the assignment and comply with the word counts. 1) The organism and virulence factors (150) 2) The spectrum of disease and risk factors (150) 3) Laboratory tests and performance characteristics (500 words plus a table) You are not required to use any additional references other than the ones I supply to you (ie the ones in the readings + the additional Brecher et al article), but you should reference any content in your work that is a quote on incidence of diseases or test performance etc.
