Bezlotoxumab in Patients with a Primary Clostridioides difficile Infection: A Literature Review.

Bezlotoxumab administration during the standard of care antibiotic therapy is effective and safe in reducing the rate of rCDI. Despite its high cost, evidence suggests considering bezlotoxumab in patients with a primary CDI episode. Further studies are needed to assess the benefit in specific subgroups of primary CDI patients and to define the risk factors to guide bezlotoxumab use.
