Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Walpole (Crossbench). It was answered on Wednesday, 17 November 2010.
NHS: Prebiotics
- Question
- My Lords, I will try again. Can the Minister tell me whether carbolic—either as a soap or as a cleaner—has any effect on C. difficile, or is C. difficile resistant to carbolic?
- Answer
-
My Lords, my advice is that best practice guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of Clostridium difficile infection is clear and is available. The management of the infection requires the isolation of cases, hand-washing with soap and water and the use of the antibiotics metronidazole or vancomycin.
