DOI: 10.1016/j.anaerobe.2022.102538
Abstract: Here, we evaluated the frequency of C. difficile colonization and its impact on clinical outcomes in patients admitted to intensive care units in Brazil. From ninety-two patients screened 16 (17.3%) were colonized by C. difficile.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41564-020-0668-2
Abstract: Although Clostridium difficile is widely considered an antibiotic- and hospital-associated pathogen, recent evidence indicates that this is an insufficient depiction of the risks and reservoirs. A common thread that links all major risk factors of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.01904-22
Abstract: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of developing C. difficile infection (CDI), even in the absence of antibiotic treatment. Yet, mechanisms regulating C. difficile colonization in IBD patients remain unclear. ABSTRACT… read more here.

Dietary Xanthan Gum Alters Antibiotic Efficacy against the Murine Gut Microbiota and Attenuates Clostridioides difficile Colonization

DOI: 10.1128/msphere.00708-19
Abstract: A healthy gut bacterial community benefits the host by breaking down dietary nutrients and protecting against pathogens. Clostridioides difficile capitalizes on the absence of this community to cause diarrhea and inflammation. Thus, a major clinical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000488025
Abstract: Background: Clostridium difficile is a gram-positive, anaerobic spore-forming, toxin-producing bacillus, which is one of the most common causes for health care-associated infections. High colonization rates in clinically asymptomatic neonates and infants have been described, although… read more here.

Disordered Intestinal Microbial Communities During Clostridioides difficile Colonization and Subsequent Infection of Hepatic Cirrhosis Patients in a Tertiary Care Hospital in China

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.825189
Abstract: Patients with hepatic cirrhosis are more susceptible to Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) and colonization with Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile). Asymptomatic C. difficile colonization is thought to predispose to subsequent CDI. However, the dynamic gut microbiota… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2019.02866
Abstract: Colonization with Clostridioides difficile occurs in up to half of infants under the age of 3 months, is strongly influenced by feeding modality and is largely asymptomatic. In spite of this, C. difficile's presence has… read more here.

Gut community alterations associated with Clostridioides difficile colonization in hospitalized gastroenterological patients with or without inflammatory bowel disease
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Microbiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.988426
Abstract: Clostridioides difficile colonization and development of infection commonly occur in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and can trigger flare-ups. Both conditions are inherently linked to disrupted gut microbiota. This study included 149 hospitalized gastrointestinal patients,… read more here.
