Researchers uncover metabolic secrets of anaerobes and identify new strategies to treat c. difficile infections: Study offers possibilities for further understanding of microbial metabolites with findings applicable to clinical medicine
A team of investigators has identified metabolic strategies used by Clostridioides difficile to rapidly colonize the gut. The findings identify methods to better prevent and treat the most common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs). The team's approach has implications for understanding broader aspects of microbial metabolism, including responses to antibiotics, and production of important metabolites.

Targeting the Impossible: A Review of New Strategies against Endospores
Endospore-forming bacteria are ubiquitous, and their endospores can be present in food, in domestic animals, and on contaminated surfaces. Many spore-forming bacteria have been used in biotechnological applications, while others are human pathogens responsible for a wide range of critical clinical i …
