C Difficile

New study suggests that C. diff infection may be less a matter of hospital transmission and more a result of characteristics associated with the patients.

A new study indicates hospital infections may come from characteristics associated with the patients and not via hospital transmission.

Hypervirulent ribotypes (HVRTs) of Clostridioides difficile such as ribotype (RT) 027 are epidemiologically important. This study evaluated whether MALDI-TOF can distinguish between strains of HVRTs and non-HVRTs commonly found in Europe. Obtained spectra of clinical C. difficile isolates (training …

A longitudinal study of ICU patients found that transition from asymptomatic C. difficile carriage to full-blown infection was far more common than transmission between patients.

Surprising findings from a new study suggest that the burden of C. diff infection may be less a matter of hospital transmission and more a result of characteristics associated with the patients themselves.

This study aimed to summarise the findings of the studies assessing the effectiveness of ultraviolet C (UV-C) room disinfection in reducing the incidence rate of healthcare-associated multi-drug-resistant organism (MDRO) infections. A systematic screening was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, and Scop …

Despite enhanced infection prevention efforts, Clostridioides difficile remains the leading cause of healthcare-associated infections in the United States. Current prevention strategies are limited by their failure to account for patients who carry C. difficile asymptomatically, who may act as hidde …

The environment is a natural reservoir of Clostridioides difficile and here, we aimed to isolate the pathogen from seven locations in Northern Iraq. Four of the sites yielded thirty-one isolates (ten from soils, twenty-one from sediments) which together represent ribotypes 001 (five), 010 (five), 01 …

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a prevalent source of hospital-acquired diarrhea. The most common presentation of CDI is colitis. In cases of fulminant colitis/toxic megacolon, a colectomy and end ileostomy are part of the treatment plan. There is evidence to suggest that it may b …

Ischemic colitis is typically considered a disease of the elderly, given their atherosclerotic risk factors and other comorbidities. Ischemic colitis in the younger population is considered very...

Introduction: Steroid-refractory acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) patients are at the highest risk of colectomy. Among the available options, cyclosporine and infliximab have similar effic...

The cytoplasmic steps of peptidoglycan synthesis represent an important targeted pathway for development of new antibiotics. Herein, we report the synthesis of novel 3-oxopyrazolidin-4-carboxamide derivatives with variable amide side chains as potential antibacterial agents targeting MurA enzyme, th …

Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) infection is still a threat to many healthcare settings worldwide. Clostridioides difficile epidemiology has changed over the last 20 years, largely due to the emergence of hypervirulent and antimicrobial-resistant C. difficile strains. Th …

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) has become the most common healthcare-associated infection in the United States, with considerable morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Assessing new preventive strategies is vital. We present a literature review of studies evaluating a strategy of scr …

Patients with a positive CD PCR were likely to receive treatment regardless of PTP or CD toxin results. We recommend that CD positivity on GIPCR be interpreted with caution, particularly in the setting of a low PTP.

Although antibiotics are the standard-of-care treatment for Clostridioides difficile infection, they can cause further microbiota changes that predispose patients to recurrence.

Ischemic colitis is typically considered a disease of the elderly, given their atherosclerotic risk factors and other comorbidities. Ischemic colitis in the younger population is considered very...

Anti-inflammatory drugs including corticosteroid therapy may worsen the incidence and severity of CDI in this mouse model. These studies may have important clinical implications for understanding the role of anti-inflammatory/ corticosteroid therapy in CDI and inflammatory bowel disease management.

Survey results showed patients with a history of live biotherapeutic product therapy preferred rectally administered treatment while patients who had not received live biotherapeutic product therapy would be willing to consider it.
