C Difficile

Clostridioides difficile can transiently or persistently colonize the human gut, posing a risk for infections. This colonization is influenced by complex molecular and ecological interactions with the human gut microbiota. By investigating C. difficile dynamics in human gut communities over hundreds …

spanbBackground/Objective/b: Tedizolid (TZD), an oxazolidinone, causes fewer adverse events than linezolid (LZD). However, studies on the long-term efficacy and safety of TZD, particularly in patients with hematological malignancies (HMs), remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the safety of l/span …

Ceftriaxone and metronidazole showed non-inferior outcomes to piperacillin/tazobactam for treating complicated diverticulitis.

Clostridioides difficile, a spore-forming anaerobic bacterium, is the primary cause of hospital antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Key virulence factors, toxins A (TcdA) and B (TcdB), significantly contribute to C. difficile infection (CDI). Yet, the specific impact of these toxins, particularly on ent …

For many common infectious diseases in both adult and pediatric populations, a significant body of evidence now shows that short-course antimicrobials are just as effective as long courses.

Nurses safeguard patients with proven practices.

spaniClostridioides difficile/i (iC. difficile/i) was a gram-positive anaerobic ibacterium/i in the gut, exhibiting clinical manifestations ranging from mild diarrhoea to fatal pseudomembranous colitis. iC. difficile/i infection (CDI) remains a serious public health problem and accounted/span …

In an effort to expedite the publication of articles, AJHP is posting manuscripts online as soon as possible after acceptance. Accepted manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and copyedited, but are posted online before technical formatting and author proofing. These manuscripts are not the final versi …

Gastrointestinal colonization by Clostridioides difficile is common in healthcare settings and ranges in presentation from asymptomatic carriage to lethal C. difficile infection (CDI). We used a systems biology approach to investigate why patients colonized with C. difficile have a range of clinical …

Assessing antimicrobial treatment using DASC before CDI can predict recurrence and should facilitate the selection of initial therapy for CDI.

The development of fecal microbiota transplantation and defined live biotherapeutic products for the treatment of human disease has been an empirically driven process yielding a notable success of approved drugs for the treatment of recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection. Assessing the …

The risk factors for CDI in patients with IBD include younger age, female gender, low body mass index and hypoalbuminaemia, use of thiopurines, antibiotics, and glucocorticosteroids, prolonged hospitalisation, and gastritis and/or duodenitis.

Larry Sutton, MD, PhD, discussed how oxygen affects C. difficile and provides anti-inflammatory effects in the gut, with potential applications for gastrointestinal diseases.

Abdulwhab Shremo Msdi, PharmD, offers insights on its complexities, why institutions have been slower to include this dosing technique, and why clinicians need to consider this approach.

Prevention of CDI among adults 18-64 years old may significantly reduce costs and mortality.

Tackling Clostridioides difficile (CD): current evidences and future directions in the treatment of CD infections

We identified the characteristics that significantly differentiated the patients who died from those who survived. Mortality is significantly higher in the group of patients with CDI than that in the other hospitalised patients.

Clinical symptoms of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) range from diarrhea to pseudomembranous colitis. A major challenge in managing CDI is the high rate of relapse. Several studies correlate the production of CDT binary toxin by clinical strains of C. difficile with higher rel …

While data from available studies shows promise, more research is necessary before we can use FMT for liver diseases. Key areas that require further study are- determining the optimal FMT regimen for each disease, establishing efficacy and safety with larger clinical trials, ensuring safe and equita …

spaniClostridioides difficile/i spores are essential for initiation, recurrence and transmission of the disease. The spore surface layers are composed of an outermost exosporium layer that surrounds another proteinaceous layer, the spore coat. These spore surfaces layers are responsible for initial/span …

Diet constitutes a major source of nutrient flow to the gut microbes. As such, it can be used to help shape the gut microbiome. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an increasingly promising therapy in disease states beyond recurrent iClostridioides difficile/i infection, but diet is largel …

Our study suggests that early acetaminophen administration may offer renal protection by reducing the risk of AKI in critically ill patients with CDI. Prospective, multicenter randomized controlled studies are needed to verify this finding.

We investigated the intra-hospital distribution of C. difficile strains by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of isolates collected in 2022 at the University Hospital Centre (UHC) Zagreb. In total, 103 patients with first-episode CDI in 2022 at UHC Zagreb were included, based on the screening stoo …

CEO Larry Sutton, MD, PhD, discusses SIDIPREV, a novel oxygen-based therapy aimed at preventing C difficile infections.

This toolkit provides a step-by-step guide to improving the medication reconciliation process.

Carlton Relf, Managing Director at Maidscando, reports.

spaniClostridioides difficile/i infection (CDI) is one of the main causes of morbidity associated with antibiotic use, producing both healthcare-associated infections and community infections. This study aims to describe the epidemiological characteristics, the clinical outcomes, previous antibiotic/span …
