The structure and biosynthetic origin of the enigmatic “yellow affinity substance” (YAS) from the anaerobe thermophile Clostridium thermocellum (now: Acetivibrio thermocellus) were elucidated. YAS is a complex of unusual antibacterial arylpolyene alkaloids (celluxanthenes) that are produced by various cellulolytic anaerobes.

Clostridium difficile Infection Worsens the Prognosis of Ulcerative Colitis
BACKGROUND: The impact of Clostridium difficile infections among ulcerative colitis (UC) patients is well characterized. However, there is little knowledge regarding the association between C difficile infections and postoperative complications among UC ...

Parasite infection in a cell population with deaths and reinfections [PDF]
We introduce a model of parasite infection in a cell population, where cells can be infected, either at birth through maternal transmission, from a contact with the parasites reservoir, or because of the parasites released in the cell medium after the lyses of infected cells.

Takeda G protein‐coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) serves as a central regulator in the metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)/metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH) transition via conjugated lithocholic acid (LCA). Mechanistically, TGR5 orchestrates lipotoxicity‐induced cell death through its interaction with CD36 ...

Sialyl glycosides containing 4‐N‐derivatized sialic acids synthesized by a highly efficient one‐pot two‐enzyme (OP2E) chemoenzymatic sialylation strategy have been shown to be versatile probes. They can resist sialidase cleavage, be selective substrates by influenza sialidases, or be nanomolar substrate analog‐based inhibitors and affinity ligands ...

Mechanisms of Action and Cell Death Associated with Clostridium perfringens Toxins. [PDF]
Clostridium perfringens uses its large arsenal of protein toxins to produce histotoxic, neurologic and intestinal infections in humans and animals. The major toxins involved in diseases are alpha (CPA), beta (CPB), epsilon (ETX), iota (ITX), enterotoxin (

Aging‐induced Alternation in the Gut Microbiota Impairs Host Antibacterial Defense
Bacterial infections in older individuals often result in worse outcomes, but the mechanisms remain unclear. This study reveals that aging‐induced alterations in gut microbiota impair host antibacterial defense mechanisms, and exacerbate the consequences of bacterial infections.

Surveillance of Clostridium difficile infection during the period 2008-2009 in Rho hospital
Clostridium difficile is a Gram positive bacillus, anaerobic, sporogenous, with oro-faecal transmission. The formation of the spores can persist in a long time, encouraging the transmission.

PDE model for multi-patch epidemic models with migration and infection-age dependent infectivity [PDF]
We study a stochastic epidemic model with multiple patches (locations), where individuals in each patch are categorized into three compartments, Susceptible, Infected and Recovered/Removed, and may migrate from one patch to another in any of the compartments.
