Mary and Robert’s story
Hi, I’m Mary and I have been caring for my sick elderly father Robert. Dad had knee replacement surgery and was then prescribed antibiotics.

The characters shown on this website are fictitious. Tristel have created them to help explain the potential scenarios that can arise specifically from C. diff (Clostridium difficile) and Norovirus infections. The characters and the stories they tell, have been created to reflect the knowledge that we have gained from nurses and patients, in hospitals over the last 15 years. We do our very best to help with infection control in specialist areas in many hospitals worldwide. Now we would like to help you to do the same in your home.
