Gut fungal dysbiosis correlates with reduced efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation in Clostridium difficile infection

Nature Communications, 2018
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is effective in treating recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Bacterial colonization in recipients after FMT has been studied, but little is known about the role of the gut fungal community, or mycobiota.

The pathogenicity of Clostridium difficile [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2001
It is now well established that the major virulence factors of C. difficile are the two toxins A and B. However, the organism possesses an array of other putative virulence factors that may be important for localisation within the colon, and in evasion of the immune system. It has been observed that certain types of C. difficile are more commonly found

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...
