C Difficile

Plenty of research on microbial-viral interactions has revealed that some commensal microorganisms in the gut, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, can resist or promote viral infection, whereas other microorganisms are involved in pathogenicity. Therefore, the balance between commensal microorga …

Re: 'the effect of antibiotic therapy for Clostridioides difficile infection on mortality and other patient-relevant outcomes' by Stabholz et al

New phase 1b data supports further investigation into Adiso Therapeutic's prospective treatment.

Syndromic testing can increase the etiologic diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections in a shorter time period than the conventional methods.

A case-control study from the US quantified the risk of Clostridioides difficile infection following a recent antibiotic prescription. It found a 20-fold variation across antibiotic classes and only slightly less variation across individual antibiotics within classes. Clindamycin and later generation cephalosporins carried the greatest risk for C difficile infection, while tetracyclines hardly increased risk at all ( Open Forum Infect Dis doi:10.1093/ofid/ofad413). People who said they were lonely at the time of recruitment into the UK Biobank study were more likely to develop incident Parkinson disease over 15 years of observation. The association was only slightly diminished after adjustment …

Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced three scientific posters were presented during the 13th International Conference on Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis of Clostridia (ClostPath) held in Banff, Canada from September 19 to 23, 2023.

The strains identified in Chongqing, Southwest China, exhibited high genetic diversity. Enhance full awareness of high-risk patients with HA-CDI infection, particularly those with gastrointestinal and hepatocellular diseases, and emphasize caution in the use of tetracycline and capecitabine. These f …

C. diff (Clostridioides difficile) is bacteria that causes about 500,000 infections a year in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It can have mild to severe health consequences.Discover what C. diff infection is, how you get it, and its symptoms...

WMT is a safe and effective method for improving renal function in patients with renal dysfunction by modulating the gut microbiota and promoting toxic metabolite excretion.

Our findings demonstrated that liver injury and dysregulation between TFR and TFH cells in EAH might be reversed by therapeutic FMT via the TLR4/11-MyD88 signaling pathway.

Infection Control Today analyzes the surprising findings from its recent informal survey on the minimum educational requirement for infection preventionists.

Clostridioides difficile is the most common cause of nosocomial gastrointestinal tract bacterial infections. We lack fully effective reliable treatments for this pathogen, and there is a critical need to better understand how C. difficile interacts with our immune system. Group 3 innat …

Objective: To explore the short-term efficacy of perioperative fecal microbiota transplantation combined with nutritional support in patients with radiation-induced enteritis complicated by intestinal obstruction. Methods: The cohort of this prospective cohort study comprised 45 patien …

Parkinson's disease is a chronic neuropathy characterised by the formation of Lewy bodies (misfolded alpha-synuclein) in dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra and other parts of the brain. Dopaminergic neurons play a vital role in generating both motor and non-motor symptoms. Finding therapeu …

Heather Yun, MD, FACP, FIDS who is this year’s IDWeek Chair for the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) talks about the honor of the position, the collective effort to put together the conference, and offers insights on AMR during war, as well as new emerging infectious disease threats.

Treatment-emergent adverse events associated with Rebyota for Clostridioides difficile infection were more prevalent in those with renal comorbidities than in those without and were moderate in severity as well as related to pre-existing conditions.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) plays a pivotal role in designing health care facilities that minimize infection risks, promoting efficient planning, and coordination while reducing construction challenges.

Health-related quality of life scores were positively associated with log MHI and Bacteriodia, and negatively with Gammaproteobacteria and Bacilli.

Results showed autologous FMT was safe and well-tolerated but did not affect time to normalized intestinal habits compared to placebo.

Frailty and poor health status are risk factors for CDI in the elderly. CDI affects quality of life, cognition and functionality, contributing to a decline in patient health over time and leading to early and late mortality. Narrative synthesis of the evidence suggests a framework for viewing the cy …

FMT is cost-effective, compared to vancomycin or fidaxomicin, for the treatment of rCDI in most scenarios from the payers' perspective in Taiwan.

From painful periods to weaker bones, UC can create a variety of complications for women.

In an interview with Amy Spallone, MD, from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, the study investigates the effects of COVID-19 precautions on healthcare-associated infections, revealing surprising results in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), C difficile infections, and more.

Here, we describe the epidemiology, diagnostics, and treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in the primary health care setting. CDI is traditionally considered as a healthcare associated infection. However, infections with onset in the community represent a large proportion of …

Lumen Bioscience has been granted $16.2 million by the U.S. Department of Defense to advance its C. difficile infection (CDI) treatment.

WMT showed strong ameliorating effect on GV, raising the possibility of targeting gut microbiota as an effective regimen to reduce GV in diabetes.
