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 responsible for 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 facilities.

To promote awareness and education about C. Difficile infections, the resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing November as C. Difficile Awareness Month. It encourages public officials and citizens to engage in activities and programs throughout the month to better inform healthcare workers and the general public about infection prevention techniques and the importance of health practices in reducing the spread of C. Difficile. The resolution aims to foster a more informed community that can effectively combat this serious health threat.
