Minnie Hatch was in her late teens when she was diagnosed with the infection. Since then, she has had recurrent episodes and dealt with care challenges along the way.

The antibiotic was effective against more than 130 multidrug-resistant bacterial strains

Clostridioides difficile has emerged as a major cause of life-threatening diarrheal disease. Conventional antibiotics used in current standards of care exacerbate the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains and pose a risk of recurrent C. difficile infection (CDI). Thus, there is an urgent need fo …

Our study fills this knowledge gap by finding that alterations in gut microbiota have an independent impact on hyperglycemia and insulin resistance in the GDM state. In vivo and in vitro, gut dysbiosis is linked to adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance via the bacterial product SCFAs in …

The use of rifaximin significantly reduces infections in patients with cirrhosis and HE. Despite rifaximin was associated with a decreased all-cause mortality, this impact was not statistically significant in the adjusted analysis.

Swine farm associated C. difficile ST11 carried fewer virulence genes than ST11 strains collected from NCBI database. It is critical to monitor the evolution of C. difficile strains to understand their changing characteristics, host-switching, and develop effective control and prevention strategies.

WHO published the first global guidelines to prevent the occurrence of bloodstream and other infections caused by catheters placed in minor blood vessels.

Previous research has suggested that common antibiotics can disturb the gut microbiome.

Study offers proof-of-concept for developing antibiotics that can kill pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria while sparing beneficial species in the gut

Ten Clostridioides difficile isolates representing the top 10 ribotypes collected in 2016 through the Emerging Infections Program underwent long-read sequencing to obtain high-quality reference genome assemblies. These isolates are publicly available through the CDC & FDA Antibiotic Resis …

Check out the latest studies, management strategies, patient advocacy, and other important news involving this condition.

Market Overview Clostridium difficile infections are a major cause of hospital acquired diarrhea particularly among older patients receiving antibiotic treatment during a hospital stay Diagnostic tests are used to detect presence of Clostridium difficile bacteria and toxins to confirm diagnosis ...

The "gut-skin" axis has been proved and is considered as a novel therapy for the prevention of skin aging. The antioxidant efficacy of oligomannonic acid (MAOS) make it an intriguing target for use to improve skin aging. The present study further explored whereby MAOS-mediated gut-skin axis balance …

Background: The interaction between commensal bacteria and the host is essential for health and the gut microbiota-brain axis plays a vital role in this regard. Obesity as a medical problem not only affect the health of the individuals, but also the economic and social aspects of communities. …

Fecal Microbiota Spores, Live-Brpk (Vowst) to Prevent Clostridioides difficile Infection

Fidaxomicin treated patients had statistically increased odds of rCDI. Compared to other treatments, fidaxomicin was inferior to metronidazole for rCDI in our cohort;Hypervirulent C. difficile was not associated with death.Vancomycin resistance of C. difficile statistically decreased, …

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a significant cause of mortality in patients with sepsis. Despite extensive research, its exact cause remains unclear. Our previous research indicated a relationship between non-hepatic hyperammonemia (NHH) and SAE. This study aimed to investigate the relati …

Based on findings from recent studies that have identified MUC5AC in mice infected with the nematode Trichuris trichiura and during colitis, researchers from Medical University of South Carolina aimed to assess the effects of Clostridioides difficile infection on MUC5AC in the intestinal mucosa.

The pathogenicity of Clostridioides difficile in piglets remains controversial. It is unknown whether C. difficile control helps protect piglet health. To clarify the association between C. difficile presence and piglet diarrhea, isolates were obtained from piglets with and without diarrhea. In addi …

Aberrant changes in the gut microbiota are implicated in many diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Gut microbes produce diverse metabolites that can shape the immune system and impact the intestinal barrier integrity, indicating that microbe-mediated modulation may be a promising st …

Microbiota restoration therapy has become a standard treatment for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI). In this article, we review the studies supporting the licensure of two live biotherapeutic products (LBPs) designed to prevent rCDI and to provide clinicians with a perspect …

This systematic review identified a 6% rate of 30-day CDI-associated hospital readmission. Antimicrobial stewardship efforts and the use of specific therapeutics were shown to reduce these rates.

Clostridioides difficile is a common cause of diarrhea and mortality, especially in immunosuppressed and hospitalized patients. C. difficile is a toxin-mediated disease, but the host cell receptors for C. difficile toxin B (TcdB) have only recently been revealed. Emerging data s …

CDI should be considered in all patients with traditional risk factors. Heightened clinical suspicion of CDI is required in patients with hypogammaglobulinemia, transplant recipients, patients with gastrointestinal surgical history, and inflammatory bowel disease. Testing should be limited to patien …

Immunotherapies currently used in clinical practice are unsatisfactory in terms of therapeutic response and toxic side effects, and therefore new immunotherapies need to be explored. Intratumoral microbiota (ITM) exists in the tumor environment (TME) and reacts with its components. On the one hand, …

The pathogenicity of Clostridioides difficile in piglets remains controversial. It is unknown whether C. difficile control helps protect piglet health. To clarify the association between C. difficile presence and piglet diarrhea, isolates were obtained from piglets with and without diarrhea. In addi …

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the leading cause of nosocomial antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and colitis, with increasing incidence and healthcare costs. Its pathogenesis is primarily driven by toxins produced by the bacterium C. difficile, Toxin A (TcdA) and Toxin B (Tc …
