Our systematic review and meta-analysis found fidaxomicin was consistently associated with a lower risk of CDI recurrence than vancomycin. These results confirm CDI guideline recommendations and indicate that fidaxomicin may be preferred over vancomycin to minimize CDI recurrence across multiple cli …

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a significant worry within healthcare institutions and the community. It is one of the leading agents causing severe diarrhea worldwide. Effective management is critical since the morbidity and mortality attributed to CDI have increased exponentially over …

Mitigating the risk for readmission and recurrence will enhance C. diff infection care, safety, and outcomes to improve a patient's health care journey and quality of life. Case managers need to take a primary role in the transition and care coordination processes, including patient and support syst …

#Cdiff 2nd recurrence, after Po Vanco (initial), then Po fidaxomicin (1st recurrence). No bezlotoxumab. What to give on 2nd recurrence?— Ricardo Cedeno-Mendoza, MD (@ricardocedenomd) October 4, 2022

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic debilitating inflammatory bowel disease with no curative treatment currently available. INRAE scientists have developed a novel predictive model of disease progression in pediatric patients that integrates both gut microbiota and host inflammation data.

In terms of clinical cure rates and adverse event rates in Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) patients, fidaxomicin (FDX) is equivalent to vancomycin (VCM) and yields noticeably greater...

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) remains a devastating infection both in hospital settings and in the community. While a number of antibiotics have anti-C. difficile activity, fidaxomicin is unique as a minimally absorbed antibiotic with narrow spectrum of activity. These featu …

Researchers assessed whether fidaxomicin is superior to vancomycin in patients with C difficile infection.

The closely related terms “fiber”, “microbiota-accessible carbohydrates” (or MACs) and “prebiotics” probably sound familiar. But what exactly are they and how can they contribute to promoting health and abrogating disease by shaping the gut microbiome? https://t.co/4onLUef1Ev— GutMicrobiota Health (@GMFHx) September 27, 2022

Initial vancomycin was associated with a reduced rate of new incident infection in the treatment of adult inpatients with first-episode non-severe CDI. These findings support the use of initial vancomycin for all inpatients with CDI, when fidaxomicin is unavailable.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are particularly vulnerable to infection with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).Available treatments of IBD with CDI have not effective. Butyrate, the metabolites of microbiota, plays a vital role in maintaining immune homeostasis and potential drugs for …

Recently, the recommendations for the treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) have been updated. However, in addition to the clinical efficacy data, the drug of choice should ideally represent optimal antimicrobial stewardship, with an emphasis on rapid restoration of the gut microbiot …

“@HannahMeekID22 Had yet another patient today that couldnt afford #fidaxomicin on discharge... I hope GI and ID are practicing in the real 🌎 and not based on society guidelines that may not be able to be translated into clinical practice thanks to drug cost. #IDtwitter #cdiff”
