ABSTRACT Background and Aims Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is increasingly used. However, no systematic approach exists to assess infectious risks after FMT, leading to underreporting. We evaluated infectious complications at the Netherlands Donor Feces Bank (NDFB) and proposed a structured biovigilance approach aligned with the EU Regulation

Efficacy of bezlotoxumab in participants receiving metronidazole, vancomycin, or fidaxomicin for treatment of Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile infection [PDF]
Background: In phase 3 MODIFY I/II trials, bezlotoxumab significantly reduced recurrence of Methods: In MODIFY I/II (NCT01241552/NCT01513239), participants received a single infusion of bezlotoxumab (10 mg/kg) or placebo during anti-CDI treatment.

Clostridium difficile infection is a disease with increasing incidence, particularly in high‑riskpatients such as the elderly, immunocompromised patients, etc. We report an unexpected decrease of International Normalized Ratio (INR) response to warfarin

Notch signaling is a key parameter in regulating cell fate during tissue homeostasis, and an aberrant Notch pathway can result in mammary gland carcinoma and has been associated with poor breast cancer diagnosis. Although inhibiting Notch signaling would

We synthesized photocaged, clickable and isotope‐labeled “magic spot” Nucleotides and delivered them into Escherichia coli comparing different approaches. Light‐controlled release inside living cells enabled tracking of their conversion from pppGpp to ppGpp by capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry and revealed their impact on the growth rate of a

Isolation of Fidaxomicin and Shunt Metabolites from Actinoplanes deccanensis [PDF]
A protocol for the isolation of the antibiotic fidaxomicin (Fdx) from Actinoplanes deccanensis and the isolation of shunt metabolites from A. deccanensis fdxG2- is reported. We constructed the mutant strain A.

Association of Fidaxomicin with C. difficile Spores: Effects of Persistence on Subsequent Spore Recovery, Outgrowth and Toxin Production. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:We have previously shown that fidaxomicin instillation prevents spore recovery in an in-vitro gut model, whereas vancomycin does not. The reasons for this are unclear.

An Economic Analysis: Is Fidaxomicin Worth the Cost? [PDF]
To the Editor— We recognize the efforts by Bartsch et al [1] to evaluate fidaxomicin (DIFICID). The conclusions drawn by the authors, however, warrant reexamination in light of numerous clinical and methodological problems. Clinically, the “all-or-none” treatment approach used in the decision model does not accurately represent real-world treatment ...

Controlled Delivery and Light‐Induced Release of Magic Spot Nucleotides in Escherichia coli
We synthesized photocaged, clickable and isotope‐labeled “magic spot” Nucleotides and delivered them into Escherichia coli comparing different approaches. Light‐controlled release inside living cells enabled tracking of their conversion from pppGpp to ppGpp by capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry and revealed their impact on the growth rate of a

Ionomycin exhibits potent and selective bactericidal activity against Clostridioides difficile, rapidly reducing vegetative cells, toxin production, sporulation, and spore germination while sparing representative gut microbiota. Its activity is calcium‐dependent and mediated through disruption of bacterial membrane potential, highlighting ionomycin as ...
