Study reveals distinct gut microbial 'signatures' highly responsive to dietary therapy for IBS - News-Medical.Net
People who respond well to the recommended dietary therapy of restricting intake of fermentable carbs for irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS for short, have an abundance of particular types of bacteria in their gut, reveals research published online in the journal Gut.

Gut: Opinions vary on potential effect on immune system
Gut: Opinions vary on potential effect on immune system
Healio Gastroenterology | I hope everyone is safe and well. The delta virus peak is surging in the Upper Midwest. Hopefully we will get a bit of a reprieve in the new year. This month’s cover story touches on the potential effects of the intestinal microbiome on our immune system. It stands to reason that what we eat can affect our microbiome, and those changes in turn could impact our immune system. The cover

Oxygen response and tolerance mechanisms in Clostridioides difficile
Oxygen response and tolerance mechanisms in Clostridioides difficile
While the gut is typically thought of as anoxic, there are two intersecting and decreasing oxygen gradients that are observed in the gut: oxygen decreases from the small to the large intestine and from the intestinal epithelium toward the colon lumen. Gut oxygen levels also increase following antibi …

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with worse intestinal complications in patients hospitalized for Clostridioides difficile infection
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with worse intestinal complications in patients hospitalized for Clostridioides difficile infection
Hospitalized CDI patients with NAFLD had more intestinal complications compared to CDI patients with VLD and ALD. Gut microbiota dysbiosis may contribute to the pathogenesis of intestinal complications.

Genetic mechanisms governing sporulation initiation in Clostridioides difficile
Genetic mechanisms governing sporulation initiation in Clostridioides difficile
As an anaerobe, Clostridioides difficile relies on the formation of a dormant spore for survival outside of the mammalian host's gastrointestinal tract. The spore is recalcitrant to desiccation, numerous disinfectants, UV light, and antibiotics, permitting long-term survival against environmental in …

The blueprint for building a biofilm the Clostridioides difficile way
Clostridioides difficile is an opportunistic pathogen that causes by a high rate of recurrent infections. Persistence in the gastrointestinal tract is thought to be mediated by sporulation and/or biofilm formation. There is an increase interest in C. difficile biofilm formation and recent findings h …

Clostridioides difficile - phage relationship the RNA way
Clostridioides difficile (formerly Clostridium difficile)-associated diarrhea is currently the most frequently occurring nosocomial diarrhea worldwide. During its infection cycle this pathogen needs to survive in phage-rich gut communities. Recent data strongly suggest that regulatory RNAs control g …

Gut microbiota in burned patients with Clostridioides difficile infection
Gut microbiota in burned patients with Clostridioides difficile infection
Despite appropriate infection control strategies in the burn intensive care unit, CDI remains prevalent in severe burn patients. Eventually, the overgrowth of A. muciniphila and the decreased abundance of F. prausnitzii in burn cases with CDI could be potential predictive microbiome biomarkers in bu …

To study the contributing factors and outcomes of Clostridioides difficile infection in patients with solid tumors
CDI causes significant morbidity in patients with malignancies. A high qSOFA score and leukocytosis are significantly associated with high morbidity and thus should be used to prioritize and intensify inpatient care of these patients.

Host Immune Responses to Clostridioides difficile: Toxins and Beyond
Host Immune Responses to Clostridioides difficile: Toxins and Beyond
Clostridioides difficile is often resistant to the actions of antibiotics to treat other bacterial infections and the resulting C. difficile infection (CDI) is among the leading causes of nosocomial infectious diarrhea worldwide. The primary virulence mechanism contributing to CDI is the production of toxins. Treatment failures and recurrence of CDI have urged the medical community to search for novel treatment options. Strains that do not produce toxins, so called non-toxigenic C. difficile, have been known to colonize the colon and protect the host against CDI. In this review, a comprehensive description and comparison of the immune responses to toxigenic C. difficile and non-toxigenic adherence, and colonization factors, here called non-toxin proteins, is provided. This revealed a number of similarities between the host immune responses to toxigenic C. difficile and non-toxin proteins, such as the influx of granulocytes and the type of T-cell response. Differences may reflect genuine variation between the responses to toxigenic or non-toxigenic C. difficile or gaps in the current knowledge with respect to the immune response toward non-toxigenic C. difficile. Toxin-based and non-toxin-based immunization studies have been evaluated to further explore the role of B cells and reveal that plasma cells are important in protection against CDI. Since the success of toxin-based interventions in humans to date is limited, it is vital that future research will focus on the immune...

Impairment of lysosomal function by Clostridioides difficile TcdB
Impairment of lysosomal function by Clostridioides difficile TcdB
TcdB is a potent cytotoxin produced by pathogenic Clostridioides difficile that inhibits Rho GTPases by mono-glucosylation. TcdB enters cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis. The pathogenic glucosyltransferase domain (GTD) egresses endosomes by pH-mediated conformational changes, and is subsequent …

Interaction of Clostridioides difficile spores with the intestinal mucosa contributes to the persistence and recurrence of the infection.
