Agricultural fertilization with poultry manure results in persistent environmental contamination with the pathogen Clostridioides difficile [PDF]
, 2021 During a field experiment applying broiler manure for fertilization of agricultural land, we detected viable Clostridioides (also known as Clostridium) difficile in broiler faeces, manure, dust and fertilized soil.

Porcine Colostrum Protects the IPEC-J2 Cells and Piglet Colon Epithelium against Clostridioides (syn. Clostridium) difficile Toxin-Induced Effects [PDF]
, 2020 Clostridioides difficile toxins are one of the main causative agents for the clinical symptoms observed during C. difficile infection in piglets. Porcine milk has been shown to strengthen the epithelial barrier function in the piglet’s intestine and may ...

Clostridioides difficile peptidoglycan modifications
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2022 The cortex and peptidoglycan of Clostridioides difficile have been poorly investigated. This last decade, the interest increased because these two structures are highly modified and these modifications may be involved in antimicrobial resistance. For example, C.

Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile
Medicine, 2021 Abstract Clostridioides difficile (formerly Clostridium) causes a potentially life-threatening diarrhoea, which is acquired predominantly in hospitals. The incidence of infections caused by this organism has increased markedly over the past 20 years, although the incidence has fallen in the UK since a peak about 10 years ago.
