Which type of bacteria is known for causing difficult-to-treat infections due to its resistance to many antibiotics and is an anaerobe?

  1. Mycoplasma pneumoniae

  2. Pseudomonas aeruginosa

  3. C. difficile

  4. Legionella spp.

The correct answer is: C. difficile

Clostridium difficile, or C. difficile, is the correct answer. C. difficile is a type of bacteria known for causing difficult-to-treat infections due to its resistance to many antibiotics. It is also an anaerobe, which means it thrives in environments without oxygen. Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Legionella spp. are not anaerobic bacteria and are not specifically known for being resistant to many antibiotics.
