The FMT era has been productive, but now it’s time to rally together as an industry to accelerate next-generation LBP drug discovery, development and FDA approval.

The radioresistant signature of colorectal cancer (CRC) hampers the clinical utility of radiotherapy. Here, we find that fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) potentiates the tumoricidal effects of radiation and degrades the intertwined adverse events in azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (D …

Our quality improvement intervention successfully decreased piperacillin-tazobactam administration without increasing the rate of surgical site infections in patients with acute appendicitis.

Faecal microbiota transplantation for patients with irritable bowel syndrome: abridged secondary publication

The insights gleaned from this review significantly contribute to our broader comprehension of the therapeutic potential of biotics in addressing COVID-19-related gut dysbiosis and mitigating secondary multi-organ complications.

The population-based study indicates that individuals with cancer may have fewerrecurrences than expected, yet variations by cancer type were large, and mortality was high.

The bacterial stringent response (SR) is a conserved transcriptional reprogramming pathway mediated by the nucleotide signaling alarmones, (pp)pGpp. The SR has been implicated in antibiotic survival in Clostridioides difficile , a biofilm- and spore-forming pathogen that causes resilient, hig …

Acurx is a promising antibiotic company with perfect Phase 2a data in treating C. difficile infection. Find out why ACXP stock is a Buy.

The American Gastroenterological Association recommends fecal microbiota-based therapies for recurrent or severe C difficile infections and other gastrointestinal issues.

MONDAY, Feb. 26, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Fecal microbiota transplant is recommended on completion of standard-of-care antibiotics to prevent recurrence for adu

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly named non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is induced by alterations of hepatic metabolism. As a critical metabolites function regulator, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) nowadays has been validated to be effecti …

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC), show an increased incidence of anxiety and depression; however, the association between UC-associated psychiatric disorders and the gut microbiota is unclear. This study aimed to examine whether gut microbiota from pa …

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved the latest fecal microbiota transplantation, or FMT, therapy product for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection, also known as CDI or C. diff.

Dr Meera Unnikrishnan awarded over £2 million for research into C. difficile infection.

ABSTRACT Clostridium sordellii and Clostridium difficile are closely related anaerobic Gram-positive, spore-forming human pathogens. C. sordellii and C. difficile form spores that are believed to be the infectious form of these bacteria. These spores ...

These results indicate that the intestinal microbiota and microbial metabolites play an important role in the antitumor effect of OVV in CRC. Furthermore, altering the intestinal microbiota composition can modulate the antitumor and immunomodulatory effects of OVV in CRC.

For a long time, urine has been considered sterile in physiological conditions, thanks to the particular structure of the urinary tract and the production of uromodulin or Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) by it. More recently, thanks to the development and use of new technologies, i.e., next-generation s …

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a liver disease that remains difficult to predict and diagnose, and the underlying mechanisms are yet to be fully clarified. The gut-liver axis refers to the reciprocal interactions between the gut and the liver, and its homeostasis plays a prominent role in maint …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neuropsychiatric condition characterized by impaired social interactions and repetitive stereotyped behaviors. Growing evidence highlights an important role of the gut-brain-microbiome axis in the pathogenesis of ASD. Research indicates an abnormal composition of …

Previous studies conducted in our lab revealed microbial assemblages to vary significantly between high (ARS-FY-H) and low fillet yield (ARS-FY-L) genetic lines in adult rainbow trout. We hypothesized that a high ARS-FY-H donor microbiome can accelerate somatic growth in microbiome-depleted rainbow …

We observed no differences in clinical or safety outcomes among three guideline-recommended empiric CAP regimens. Empiric doxycycline + β-lactam may be a safe empiric regimen for hospitalized CAP patients with non-severe CAP, although additional research is needed to corroborate these observations w …

Infectious diarrhea lasts longer in patients with hematological malignancies. While corticosteroid use is a risk factor for developing infectious diarrhea, GCSF use has a protective effect.

Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive bacteria that causes nosocomial infections, significantly impacting public health. In the present study, we aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and relationship between antibiotic exposure and Clostridioides difficile in …

This underscores the need for randomised, controlled, prospective cohort studies in children to assess FMT effectiveness in diverse conditions and counteract publication bias.

We identified four associated risk factors in the risk-prediction model. The tool showed good discrimination that might help predict, identify, and evaluate hospitalized patients at risk of developing CDI.

We found that CDI was associated with worse outcomes and higher costs. KT patients should be monitored closely for signs of CDI in order to initiate appropriate management.

Fecal microbiota-based therapies are effective therapy to prevent recurrent C difficile in select patients. Conventional fecal microbiota transplant is an adjuvant treatment for select adults hospitalized with severe or fulminant C difficile infection not responding to standard of care antibiotics. …

Clostridioides difficile is the most important cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea in the United States. The high incidence and recurrence rates of C. difficile infection (CDI), associated with high morbidity and mortality, pose a public health challenge. Although antibiotics targe …
