A rare disease: classtridium diffectic?

Do you mean clostridium difficile? That is a contagious bowel disease that causes severe diarrhea. Sometimes its caused by taking antibiotics (since the antibiotics kill all bacteria, and you have healthy bacteria in your colon, but the antibiotic can't tell the difference between bad and good) Sometimes people get it from other people that are infected. Its pretty common in the healthcare places (hospitals, nursing homes, etc) It is treated with a different antibiotic which kills off the bacteria that causes it, and helps the normal bacteria to come back,

That looks like Clostridium difficile... and it's not rare at all.

It is a common cause of colitis after taking antibiotics. Antibiotics can kill of your normal intestinal flora ("good bacteria") and allow C. difficile to grow.

It needs to be treated with another antibiotic that will kill the C. dif - usually Flagyl (metronidazole).

Here's way more information than you probably want to know about it:
