- Title
Mechanisms of Colonization Resistance Against Clostridioides difficile.
- Authors
Pike, Colleen M; Theriot, Casey M
- Abstract
Clostridioides difficile is an urgent antimicrobial-resistant bacterium, causing mild to moderate and sometimes life-threatening disease. Commensal gut microbes are critical for providing colonization resistance against C difficile and can be leveraged as non-antibiotic alternative therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of C difficile infection.
