Affecting roughly half a million Americans each year, bacterial infections caused by Clostridioides difficile—commonly known ...
Clostridiodes difficile infection has become a leading cause of severe, sometimes fatal diarrheal illness, with the bacterium's toxins causing the damage. New work cements our knowledge of how C. diff ...
NEW YORK, January 2, 2020 -- A newly published paper in PNAS details a research breakthrough that provides a promising starting point for scientists to create drugs that can cure C. diff-- a virulent ...
Federally funded research published this week could offer scientists the building blocks needed to create drugs to cure Clostridium difficile. Researchers at Baltimore-based University of Maryland ...
Known as one of the superbugs that resists most antibiotics, Clostridioides difficile, or C. diff, causes inflammation of the colon and can lead to diarrhea and sometimes death. The stubborn bacteria ...
Most antibiotics are double-edged swords. Besides killing the pathogen they are prescribed for, they also decimate beneficial bacteria and change the composition of the gut microbiome. As a result, ...
C. diff, which is short for Clostridioides difficile, is a type of bacteria that may cause serious problems in the digestive system. It is one of the most common causes of diarrhea linked to ...
Scientists have made a breakthrough in the hunt for a new vaccine for killer hospital bug Clostridioides difficile (C. diff). Scientists have made a breakthrough in the hunt for a new vaccine for ...
