Clostridioides difficile Spores: Bile Acid Sensors and Trojan Horses of Transmission

Compiler Implementation Verification and Trojan Horses

WWW Electronic Commerce and Java Trojan Horses

World Wide Web electronic commerce applications often require consumers to enter private informa tion such as credit card numbers into forms in the browser window If third parties can insert trojan horse applications onto a consumer s machine they can monitor keyboard strokes and steal private infor mation This paper outlines a simple way to accomplish this using Java or similar remote executio...

Toxin profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns among toxigenic clinical isolates of Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile

Objective(s): Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile infection as a healthcare-associated infection can cause life-threatening infectious diarrhea in hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the toxin profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of C. difficile isolates obtained from hospitalized patients in Shiraz, Iran.Mater...

Intestinal calcium and bile salts facilitate germination of Clostridium difficile spores

Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is an anaerobic gram-positive pathogen that is the leading cause of nosocomial bacterial infection globally. C. difficile infection (CDI) typically occurs after ingestion of infectious spores by a patient that has been treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics. While CDI is a toxin-mediated disease, transmission and pathogenesis are dependent on the ability to...
