Efficacy of Metronidazole Versus Metronidazole and Rifampin in CDAD Treatment

What is the difference between the use of one drug (Oral Metronidazole) versus the use of this same drug combined with another drug (Rifampin) in treatment of bacteria and infection-associated diarrhea in patients? This infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in both the community and hospitals, and the leading cause of hospital and chronic facility-acquired diarrhea. Research is important for the treatment of this infection. Patient care with use of two medication treatment regimens will be studied.
