In a major step toward a precision therapy for Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection, researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have uncovered how the body's bile acids bind to ...
This study explores the effectiveness of toxin testing in predicting Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) outcomes, revealing that patients with negative toxin results were less likely to ...
A novel vaccination approach developed by Vanderbilt Health researchers cleared the harmful gut bacterium Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) in an animal model of infection. An experimental vaccine ...
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 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 ...
