Affecting roughly half a million Americans each year, bacterial infections caused by Clostridioides difficile—commonly known as C. diff—are a serious and persistent problem for patients and hospitals ...
A new study paves the way for the development of next generation therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), the most frequent cause of ...
Estimated to cause almost half a million infections per year, the bacterium Clostridioides difficile, also known as C. difficile or "C. diff," can cause diarrhea and inflammation of the large ...
The presence of antigen-specific and neutralizing antibodies was not associated with Clostridioides difficile infection symptoms, severity, therapy approach, treatment response, or recurrences in a ...
A new imaging approach used microscopic glowing tags to reveal gene activity in individual C. diff cells in gut tissue samples from infected mice. Here, a resulting image shows a round cross-section ...
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a common hospital-acquired infection that is associated with a high clinical and economic burden. Because of this management of CDI is quickly becoming a part ...
Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center have obtained the crystal structure of a toxin from the bacterium Clostridium difficile (C. diff) -- the leading cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea ...
A study investigating samples of the superbug Clostridioides difficile across 14 pig farms in Denmark finds the sharing of multiple antibiotic-resistance genes between pigs and human patients, ...
