A highly contagious and bleach-resistant superbug, known as Clostridioides difficile or ‘C. diff,’ is causing alarm in hospitals across the country. According to research conducted by the University of Plymouth, this superbug has developed resistance to high levels of bleach, rendering traditional cleaning methods ineffective against it.
Symptoms of C. diff infection include diarrhoea, high temperature, loss of appetite, nausea, and stomach ache, as outlined by the NHS. This bacterial infection is particularly concerning due to its resistance to bleach, which is commonly used for disinfection in healthcare settings.
