C Diff Drug Development

REC-3964 is designed to treat C. diff by selectively inhibiting the glucosyltransferase activity of toxin B produced by the bacterium in the gastrointestinal tract.

The clinical stage company, Recursion, dosed its first participant using a novel therapy that is not an antimicrobial.

In a significant advancement for infectious disease treatment, Penn Medicine and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)....

Clostridioides difficile, a spore-forming and anaerobic gram-positive bacterium, causes a wide-spectrum diarrheal disease that can ultimately lead to life-threatening conditions such as toxic megacolon or colonic perforation.

A new vaccine provides hope for treating and even preventing the highly contagious and difficult-to-treat Clostridioides difficile infection, more commonly known as C. difficile or C. diff.

The microbiome therapeutics market is expected to grow from US 375 92 million in 2022 to US 813 38 million by 2030 it is anticipated to record a CAGR of 10 1 from 2022 to 2030 Microbiome Therapeutics Market Size ...

Scientists in Pennsylvania have developed an experimental mRNA-based vaccine for C. diff bacteria, which often cause recurring, miserable bouts of diarrhea.

Promising advancements are on the horizon that could tackle one of the world’s most challenging […]

Bacteria Striking Back Bacterial infections are much less deadly than they used to be before the introduction of antibiotics. “Before we had antibiotics, infections like scarlet fever could even lead to heart problems. Surgery often led to deadly infections in the blood like bacteremia or septicemia. A World Without Antibiotics Because antibiotics silently save so […]

Earlier attempts at producing vaccines against C. difficile have been unsuccessful, although several are currently in development. A vaccine for C. difficile developed by Pfizer failed in a late-stage trial in 2022.

Researchers are developing what they hope will be the first successful vaccine against the highly contagious and difficult-to-treat Clostridioides difficile bacteria, using the technology behind the revolutionary mRNA vaccines that tackled the coronavirus that caused COVID-19.

Discover the groundbreaking mRNA vaccine developed by University of Pennsylvania and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to prevent and treat C. difficile

CP101 was superior to placebo in reducing recurrent CDI with a safety profile similar to placebo. https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03110133.

A new vaccine provides hope for treating and even preventing the highly contagious and difficult-to-treat Clostridioides difficile infection, more commonly known as C. difficile or C. diff. In animal models, this first mRNA-LNP C. difficile vaccine was found to protect against C. difficile first-time infections and relapsing infections by inducing a robust immune response, promote clearance of existing C. diff bacteria from the gut, and even overcome deficits in host immunity to protect animals after infection, according to researchers. The results will pave the way for clinical trials of the vaccine.

There is growing interest in developing monotherapy drugs that treat inflammation caused by microbial infections, focusing on dual antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents with minimal side effects and high safety margins. This study synthesized and characterized a library of novel cis-4-ferroceny …

PHILADELPHIA – A new vaccine provides hope for treating and even preventing the highly contagious and difficult-to-treat Clostridioides difficile infection,

The study indicates that targeting the sympathetic nervous system could improve CDI management, as a novel multi-target mRNA vaccine was shown to protect mice from lethal doses.

Clostridioides difficile is traditionally isolated from healthcare facilities' inpatients, but it is increasingly being identified in people who have not recently been hospitalized and is more and more found in community settings. Investigators from Perelman School of Medicine at University of Pennsylvania developed an mRNA-LNP vaccine with promising results in preventing and controlling C. difficile infection.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- New research from the UVA School of Medicine has unveiled a potential way to fight C. difficile, which has been described as "a deadly plague"

Seres Therapeutics (NASDAQ:MCRB) announced Tuesday that Nestlé Health Science, a unit of consumer care giant Nestle (OTCPK:NSRGY), has agreed to purchase its oral microbiome therapy Vowst for $175M. However, shares of the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based biotech fell ~21% in reaction. Developed by Seres (MCRB) and Nestlé Health Science, Vowst was app...

A large team of microbiologists, pathologists and infectious diseases specialists affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. has developed an mRNA vaccine that has thus far been found able to protect mice against intestinal Clostridioides difficile bacterial infections.

Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is one of the most threatening bacteria globally, causing high mortality and morbidity in humans and animals, and is considered a public health threat that requires urgent and aggressive action. Interruption of the human gut microbiome and the development of anti
