A study of Clostridium difficile in biofilm mode of growth using the Sorbarod filter system [PDF]

In all ecosystems, bacteria are likely to grow in biofilms, and the organisms making up the natural flora of the colon are considered to be no exception to this. One of the most important hospital-acquired infections is antibiotic associated diarrhoea,

How do hospital professionals involved in a randomised controlled trial perceive the value of genotyping vs. PCR-ribotyping for control of hospital acquired C. difficile infections? [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Despite scientific advances in typing of C. difficile strains very little is known about how hospital staff use typing results during periods of increased incidence (PIIs). This qualitative study, undertaken alongside a randomised controlled

A Clostridioides difficile cell-free gene expression system for prototyping and gene expression analysis

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Clostridioides difficile is an obligate anaerobic, Gram-positive bacterium that produces toxins. Despite technological progress, conducting gene expression analysis of C. difficile under different conditions continues to be labor-intensive.

Gut Microbiota Composition and Clostridioides Difficile Infection: The Potential Protective Role of Faecalibacterium Prausnitzii

Gut Microbes Reports
The gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). We aimed to compare the composition of the gut microbiota of patients with CDI, patients asymptomatically colonized by Clostridioides difficile (CDC), patients with non ...

Stability of Clostridioides difficile toxins in stool samples

International Journal of Medical Microbiology
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is mediated by the cytotoxins TcdA and/or TcdB. The reliable detection of these toxins using enzyme immunoassays (EIA) could be affected by toxin stability.
