Liver-Microbiome Crosstalk Mediates the Protective Effects of Artemisinin in Clostridium perfringens Models. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
Artemisinin mitigates Clostridium perfringens infection in mice and rabbits by modulating gut–liver crosstalk, leading to restored intestinal morphology, balanced microbiota composition and improved immunometabolic profiles. ABSTRACT Clostridium perfringens is a multi‐host opportunistic pathogen whose plasmid‐encoded toxins cause gas gangrene, necrotic
