[Nosocomial diarrhea in adults due to microorganisms other than Clostridium difficile].
Nosocomial diarrhea of the adult is to the largest extend caused by Clostridium difficile. However, one must not underestimate the importance of other bacteria such as Salmonella or Shigella, which are most common in developing countries. Other viruses and parasites can equally be responsible for causing such infections.
