The five most advanced microbiome players aiming for the gut
After decades of research, gut microbiome therapies are on the cusp of reaching the market. Here are five of the companies that are closest to hitting this historic milestone.
Plotting a comeback after 2016 flop, Seres to raise $100M to prep C. difficile program for launch
Microbiome pioneer Seres Therapeutics faced numerous setbacks throughout the years in numerous fields, most prominently for its lead program in C. difficile infections. But the biotech has plotted a comeback after a major flop six years ago, and is confident enough to start seeking cash ahead of a possible market
Novel C. Difficile Treatment Reduces Recurrence in Key Subgroups
Paul Feuerstadt, MD, FACG, AGAF, discussed research into the novel C. difficile treatment RBX2660 and what investigators have found about its efficacy in key subgroup analyses.
RBX2660 for Recurrent CDI Associated with Microbiome and Bile Acid Restoration
Patients with recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection saw improvements in fecal microbiome and bile acid after treatment with the investigational microbiota-based live biotherapeutic RBX2660.
Immunoinformatics Approach Toward the Introduction of a Novel Multi-Epitope Vaccine Against Clostridium difficile
Clostridium difficile (C.difficile) is an exclusively anaerobic, spore-forming, and Gram-positive pathogen that is the most common cause of nosocomial diarrhea and is becoming increasingly prevalent in the community. Because C. difficile is strictly anaerobic, spores that can survive f …

In vitro anti-clostridial action and potential of the spice herbs essential oils to prevent biofilm formation of hypervirulent Clostridioides difficile strains isolated from hospitalized patients with CDI
Essential oils of wild oregano, black pepper and garlic are candidates for adjunctive therapeutics in the treatment of CDI. Oregano oil should certainly be preferred due to the lack of selectivity of action in relation to the ribotype, the strength of the produced biofilm and/or antibiotic-susceptib …
