Hello, my name is Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi.
I understand your concern.
Yes, C. diff is contagious.
Microorganisms can be spread from person-to-person by touch or by direct contact with contaminated objects and surfaces (for example, clothing, cell phones, door handles).
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have any other question I'll be glad to help.
Kind regards!
