Association between proton pump inhibitor therapy and clostridium difficile infection: a contemporary systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Introduction Emerging epidemiological evidence suggests that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) acid-suppression therapy is associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).

Targeted restoration of the intestinal microbiota with a simple, defined bacteriotherapy resolves relapsing Clostridium difficile disease in mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Relapsing C. difficile disease in humans is linked to a pathological imbalance within the intestinal microbiota, termed dysbiosis, which remains poorly understood. We show that mice infected with epidemic C.

Clostridium difficile infection: review [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2019
Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic bacillus, which is widely distributed in the intestinal tract of humans and animals and in the environment. In the last decade, the frequency and severity of C. difficile infection has been increasing worldwide to become one of the most common hospital-acquired infections.

Risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Following Hospital‐Treated Infections and Modulatory Role of Host Genetics to Support a Multi‐Hit Pathogenesis Model

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Hospital‐treated infections are linked to increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease in a large prospective cohort. This risk differs by infection burden, time since infection, and host immune‐genetic susceptibility. The findings support a multi‐hit pathogenesis model in which severe infection and inherited susceptibility jointly shape inflammatory ...

The analysis of para-cresol production and tolerance in Clostridium difficile 027 and 012 strains. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BACKGROUND: Clostridium difficile is the major cause of antibiotic associated diarrhoea and in recent years its increased prevalence has been linked to the emergence of hypervirulent clones such as the PCR-ribotype 027. Characteristically, C.

Identification of a novel zinc metalloprotease through a global analysis of clostridium difficile extracellular proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Clostridium difficile is a major cause of infectious diarrhea worldwide. Although the cell surface proteins are recognized to be important in clostridial pathogenesis, biological functions of only a few are known.

A meta-analysis of metronidazole and vancomycin for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection, stratified by disease severity

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy of metronidazole and vancomycin for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection, especially to investigate which agent was superior for treating either mild or severe C.

Pathogenesis of Clostridium difficile infection [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1998
Clostridium difficile produces two major toxins referred to as toxins A and B. These are thought to be primarily responsible for the virulence of the bacterium and the major contributors to the pathogenesis of antibiotic-associated gastrointestinal disease.
