Does Clostridium Difficile Colonize Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitizers?
C. difficile is not killed by the alcohol-based hand sanitizers commonly used in most hospitals (alcohol, apparently, is not "sporicidal"). Here's my question: has anyone shown that C. difficile doesn't colonize these hand sanitizers? Wouldn't that be the perfect way to spread?

Man, I always think that too. Please find out!
