Anyway, we thought we'd catch up with Tom because he has his finger on the pulse and actually generates a lot of the new, what's new in C. diff anyway, so... what's new in the world of Clostridioides difficile.

Well, I still don't call it Clostridioides, but I'm allowed to because I am.

What's the story? Why did they change it? Well, the problem is it is different to the other Clostridio, and technically it can be slotted into and was slotted into a new genus, Clostridioides, which means Clostridium-like Clostridium.

but both names are validly published And therefore, according to the nomenclature people, you can use whichever name you like.

It's not really a problem.

And what do you like to use? Clostridium? I still, if I can get away with using Clostridium difficile, I use Clostridium difficile.

There are many journal editors-in-chief that say, no, no, you can't do that.

good.
