Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus as a Probable Cause of Antibiotic-Associated Enterocolitis

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2018
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea is typically associated with Clostridium difficile. However, Staphylococcus aureus has also been described as a cause of antibiotic-associated enterocolitis and diarrhea and is likely an underrecognized etiology. We present

Suppression of gut colonization by multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli clinical isolates through cooperative niche exclusion

Nature Communications
Human gut colonization by multi-drug resistant Enterobacterales (MDR-E) poses a risk for subsequent infections. Because of the collateral damage antibiotics cause to the microbiota, microbiome-based interventions aimed at promoting decolonization have ...
