The global Clostridium Diagnostics Market is anticipated to grow at a 12.2% CAGR from 2022 to 2032, from US$ 2.5 billion to US$ 7.8 billion. The market saw a 13.6% CAGR between 2015 and 2021. The market is expanding as a result of increased awareness-raising activities for clostridium-related ill...

Our findings emphasize the importance of including frontline healthcare personnel in infection prevention decision-making processes and the strategies presented here can be applied to mitigating infections in different healthcare settings.

In response to national guidelines, we implemented a two-step testing algorithm for Clostridioides difficile in an effort to improve diagnostic accuracy. Following implementation, we analyzed treatment frequency between discordant and concordant patients. We found that the majority of discordant cas …

In-situ vaccination (ISV) utilizing nanoparticles (NPs) and therapeutic devices like focused ultrasound (FUS) can trigger immune-mediated killing of both treated and untreated cancer cells. However, the impact of confounding factors such as aging and gut microbiota composition on therapeutic outcome …

Age-associated impairment in antioxidant defense is an important cause of oxidative stress, and elderly individuals are usually associated with gut microbiota (GM) changes. Studies have suggested a potential relationship between the GM and changes in antioxidant defense in aging animals. Direct evid …

The experimental details reported in preclinical fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) protocols are highly inconsistent, variable, and/or incomplete. We therefore evaluated FMT from a human donor to antibiotic-induced microbial-depleted mice by exploring the effects of six techniques based on anti …

(1) Background: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an effective treatment for ulcerative colitis (UC). Metabolomic techniques would assist physicians in clinical decision-making. (2) Methods: Patients with active UC undergoing FMT were enrolled in the study and monitored for 3 months. We expl …

Neurogenic hypertension, a complex and multifactorial cardiovascular disorder, is known to be influenced by various genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the role of the gut microbiome in hypertension pathogenesis. The bidirectional commun …

The gut is host to a diverse array of microbiota that constitute a complex ecological system crucial to human physiology. Disruptors to the normal host microbiota, such as antimicrobials, can cause a loss of species diversity in the gut, reducing its ability to resist colonization by invading pathog …

There has been an overuse of antibiotics in most patients suffering from COVID-19 which predisposes patients to hospital acquired C. difficile Infection (CDI). Also, COVID infection of the gastrointestinal tract also predisposes the patient to CDI. We here present a fatal case of SARS-CoV-2 coinfect …

Clostridioides difficile and Enterococcus spp. are two common bacterial pathogens populating the human microbiota. We possess scant data on how Clostridioides difficile interacts with Enterococcus spp. in the gut microbiota in subjects colonized with Clostridioides dif …

The American Journal of Managed Care provides insights into the latest news and research in managed care across multimedia platforms.

ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03244644 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03244644).

An FDA-approved oral fecal microbiota therapeutic reduces the risk for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection in high-risk patients compared with placebo, regardless of demographics or baseline risk factors, researchers reported.

Practical Use of VOWST (fecal microbiota live spores - bprk) for the Prevention of Recurrent Clostridioides difficile Infection

To maximise the potential advantages of probiotics in diarrhoea management, it is essential to examine individual circumstances and seek expert help.

There has been an overuse of antibiotics in most patients suffering from COVID-19 which predisposes patients to hospital acquired C. difficile Infection (CDI). Also, COVID infection of the gastrointestinal tract also predisposes the patient to CDI. We here present a fatal case of SARS-CoV-2 coinfect …

With a close pathogenetic resemblance to human diabetes, canine Diabetes Mellitus, a chronic metabolic disease featuring abnormally high blood sugar levels, is increasing in prevalence worldwide. Unlike humans, canine glycemic control requires life-long insulin injections and dietary control in most …

We encountered 34 Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) infection (CDI) cases among Thoroughbred horses in Japan from 2010 to 2021. Among them, 79.4% (27/34) either died or were euthanised. The risk factors associated with CDI and mortality among Japanese Thoroughbred horses remain unclear. We use …

The role of Clostridioides (C.) difficile as an enteropathogen in dogs is controversial. In humans, intestinal bile acid-dysmetabolism is associated with C. difficile prevalence. The relationship between fecal qPCR-based dysbiosis index (DI) and especially the abundance of bile acid-co …

The gut is host to a diverse array of microbiota that constitute a complex ecological system crucial to human physiology. Disruptors to the normal host microbiota, such as antimicrobials, can cause a loss of species diversity in the gut, reducing its ability to resist colonization by invading pathog …

Although C. difficile has not been linked to canine diarrheal disorders, it appears to be more common in dogs with intestinal dysfunctions. The isolation of ribotypes frequently involved in human CDI outbreaks around the world supports the theory of C. difficile zoonotic transmission.

According to GlobalData, the clostridium difficile tests market in Portugal was valued at 0.31 in 2022

This study suggested that WMT might be a promising therapy for patients with IBS, especially those with comorbid sleep and psychological disorders.

Stephanie Culler is using genetically engineered, synthetic probiotics to overhaul treatments for a host of ailments.

The study was designed to help scientists better understand how to prevent in-hospital transmission of Clostridioides difficile.

Progress made in the effort to develop new probiotics.

Scientific Reports - Combining a parsimonious mathematical model with infection data from tailor-made experiments to understand environmental transmission

Some probiotics may be beneficial in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but differences in species and strains used, as well as endpoints reported, have hampered attempts to make specific recommendations as to which should be preferred. We updated our previous meta-analysis examining this issue.

Lumen Bioscience's C diff therapy, LMN-201, combines four therapeutic proteins that act synergistically to neutralize both the C difficile bacterium and the toxin that causes its virulence directly in the patient’s gastrointestinal tract.
