The resolution designates November of each year as "C. Difficile Awareness Month" in the State of New Jersey to raise awareness about Clostridioides Difficile (C. Difficile), a bacterium that causes significant health issues, including inflammation of the colon. The resolution highlights alarming statistics, such as the 500,000 annual diagnoses of C. Difficile infections in the U.S., with nearly 29,000 deaths occurring within 30 days of diagnosis. It emphasizes the bacterium's status as the most common cause of healthcare-associated infections in hospitals and the substantial financial burden it places on healthcare systems.

To promote awareness, the resolution urges the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing November as C. Difficile Awareness Month and encourages public officials and citizens to engage in activities and programs that educate about the infection and its prevention. The resolution underscores the importance of improved health practices, such as hand hygiene and environmental cleaning, as well as the need for healthcare workers to be educated on infection prevention techniques to reduce the spread of C. Difficile infections.
