Clostridium difficile spore-macrophage interactions: spore survival. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Clostridium difficile is the main cause of nosocomial infections including antibiotic associated diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis and toxic megacolon. During the course of Clostridium difficile infections (CDI), C.

Bile acid-independent protection against Clostridioides difficile infection.
PLoS Pathogens, 2021 Clostridioides difficile infections occur upon ecological / metabolic disruptions to the normal colonic microbiota, commonly due to broad-spectrum antibiotic use.

Clostridium difficile–associated Disease in New Jersey Hospitals, 2000–2004
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 Recent emergence of a virulent strain of Clostridium difficile demonstrates the importance of tracking C. difficile incidence locally. Our survey of New Jersey hospitals documented increases in the rates of C. difficile disease (by 2-fold), C.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 In adults, Clostridioides difficile infections are associated with alterations of the intestinal bacterial populations. Although preterm neonates (PN) are frequently colonized by C. difficile, limited data are available regarding the relationship between

Transcriptional analysis of temporal gene expression in germinating Clostridium difficile 630 endospores. [PDF]
, 2013 Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of hospital acquired diarrhoea in industrialised countries. Under conditions that are not favourable for growth, the pathogen produces metabolically dormant endospores via asymmetric cell division.

Identification of a novel zinc metalloprotease through a global analysis of clostridium difficile extracellular proteins [PDF]
, 2013 Clostridium difficile is a major cause of infectious diarrhea worldwide. Although the cell surface proteins are recognized to be important in clostridial pathogenesis, biological functions of only a few are known.

Prevalence of Clostridium difficile infections among Kenyan children with diarrhea
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019 Background: Diarrhea causes significant morbidity and mortality among children worldwide. Regions most affected by diarrhea include Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, where antibiotics are in common use and can make children more vulnerable to ...

Genetically Programmed Shape‐Morphing of Engineered Living Materials
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Here, bacterial and mammalian engineered living materials (ELMs) are presented, in which living cells direct genetically programmed and enzymatically mediated shape‐morphing. The resulting deformation and shape‐recovery can be actuated in a genetically controlled manner by an ELM incorporating out‐of‐equilibrium counteracting biochemical reactions with
