Article Title:	A Tapered-Pulsed Fidaxomicin Regimen following Treatment in Patients with Multiple Clostridioides difficile Infection Recurrences.
Abstract:	We treated 46 patients with multiple recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections (mrCDI) using a tapered-pulsed (T-P) fidaxomicin regimen, the majority of whom failed prior T-P vancomycin treatment. Sustained clinical response rates at 30 and 90 days were 74% (34/46) and 61% (28/46). T-P fidaxomicin shows promise for management of mrCDI.
