Which of the following is considered the “drug of choice” for Clostridium difficile?

Metronidazole
Clindamycin
Ketoconazole
Ciprofloxacin

Explanation

Answer: A - Metronidazole is the drug of choice against Clostridium difficile due to its lower price and good clinical efficacy. Clindamycin is ineffective against Clostridia, and Clostridia overgrowth is a serious potential adverse effect. Ketonidazole is an azole antifungal. Ciprofloxacin is fluroquinone without high efficacy against Clostridium difficile.
