Respondents were also asked about probiotic use, including S.
boulardii for “management of current CDI” and for “prevention of
CDI (pt on antibiotics)”. Approximately one-third (37%) of respondents
do not recommend probiotics for either management or
prevention of CDI. The largest group of respondents reported using
probiotics for both treatment and prevention (218, 40%), while 23%
reported using probiotics for either treatment or prevention, but
not both. The majority of respondents using probiotics for either
indication reported rare or occasional use; only 12% and 17% reported
routine use of probiotics for either prevention or management,
respectively.
