Clostridium difficile is a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and colitis. The incidence of infection with this organism is increasing in hospitals worldwide, consequent to the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Pathogenic strains of C. difficile produce two protein exotoxins, toxin A and toxin B, that cause colonic mucosal injury

Biological therapies for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) include probiotics and faecal microbiota transplant (FMT). There is significant interest in their use in treating refractory/recurrent CDI. This review summarizes the latest evidence for these approaches.The small number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using probiotics in CDI have ...

Clostridium difficile has become one of the commonest pathogens of the lower intestinal tract. This organism appears unique in that infection almost always occurs during or after antibiotic therapy, suggesting that some component of the normal microflora prevents colonization by C. difficile. Once it has overgrown in the colon, C.

Clostridium difficile Infection
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2017Clostridium difficile infection is a major health care challenge in terms of patient and economic consequences. For the patient, it is a morbid and sometimes a life-threatening iatrogenic complication of antibiotic treatment. In the United States, the provider's institution may face financial penalties, because the Centers for Disease Control and ...

Clostridium difficile Adhesins
2016Clostridium difficile is responsible for a large spectrum of intestinal diseases ranging from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis depending on the one hand on the strain virulence and on the other on the host. The pathogenesis of C. difficile infection could be seen as a three-step process that takes place after disruption of the digestive microbiota by ...

Clostridium difficile is the most common cause of infectious diarrhea in hospitalized patients. Its effects are mediated by C difficile toxins A and B. Recent outbreaks of severe colitis have been associated with a new strain of the bacterium that produces large amounts of the toxins. Although oral metronidazole and oral vancomycin can be used to treat
