Clostridioides difficile Sporulation

Some members of the Firmicutes phylum, including many members of the human gut microbiota, are able to differentiate a dormant and highly resistant cell type, the endospore (hereinafter spore for simplicity). Spore-formers can colonize virtually any habitat and, because of their resistance to a wide variety of physical and chemical insults, spores can ...

Clostridioides difficile Biofilm

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), previously Clostridium difficile infection, is a symptomatic infection of the large intestine caused by the spore-forming anaerobic, gram-positive bacterium Clostridioides difficile. CDI is an important healthcare-associated disease worldwide, characterized by high levels of recurrence, morbidity, and mortality.

Clostridioides difficile in bat guano

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2019
Bats are associated with the emergence of several mammalian diseases. Their sessional migration, and tendency to form large colonies in close proximity to human habitats enables effective intra- and inter-species transmission of pathogens. Clostridioides difficile is an important enteric pathogen in humans and animals; however, the source of its ...

Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile

2021
This chapter evaluates Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile, a gram-positive anaerobic spore-forming bacillus found in colon flora. When C. difficile is induced to produce exotoxins (A/B) symptomatic disease (i.e., diarrhea/colitis) follows. The clinical spectrum of infection ranges from watery toxigenic diarrhea to invasive transmural colitis.

Clostridioides difficile infection diagnosis

Annales de Biologie Clinique
Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic enteropathogen responsible for a wide spectrum of clinical diseases ranging from mild diarrhoea to pseudomembranous colitis. It is the first cause of healthcare-associated diarrhoeas, but community-associated Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI) are increasingly reported in ...

Microscopy methods for Clostridioides difficile

Anaerobe
Microscopic technologies including light and fluorescent, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and cryo-electron microscopy have been widely utilized to visualize Clostridioides difficile at the molecular, cellular, community, and structural biology level. This comprehensive review summarizes the microscopy tools (

[Clostridioides difficile infections].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2023
Here, we describe the epidemiology, diagnostics, and treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in the primary health care setting. CDI is traditionally considered as a healthcare associated infection. However, infections with onset in the community represent a large proportion of CDI.

Antibiotic Resistances of Clostridioides difficile

The rapid evolution of antibiotic resistance in Clostridioides difficile and the consequent effects on prevention and treatment of C. difficile infections (CDIs) are a matter of concern for public health. Antibiotic resistance plays an important role in driving C. difficile epidemiology.

Foodborne transmission of Clostridioides difficile

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2020
The epidemiology of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is changing, with increasing rates of community-acquired infections. In light of recent advances in understanding C. difficile transmission networks with whole-genome sequencing, new routes of spread outside the hospital need to be considered.

Comparative Genomics of Clostridioides difficile

Clostridioides difficile, a Gram-positive spore-forming anaerobic bacterium, has rapidly emerged as the leading cause of nosocomial diarrhoea in hospitals. The availability of large numbers of genome sequences, mainly due to the use of next-generation sequencing methods, has undoubtedly shown their immense advantages in the determination of C ...
