Detection of toxigenic Clostridium difficile in pig feces by PCR
Clostridium difficile is considered an important uncontrolled cause of neonatal diarrhea. Also, the presence of bacteria in the feces of the animal could represent a zoonosic risk for the contamination of meat products. Therefore, it is necessary to have procedures available for the early detection of C. difficile in animals. The current study describes a new semi-automated procedure for the re...
متن کاملDuodenal infusion of donor feces for recurrent Clostridium difficile.
BACKGROUND Recurrent Clostridium difficile infection is difficult to treat, and failure rates for antibiotic therapy are high. We studied the effect of duodenal infusion of donor feces in patients with recurrent C. difficile infection. METHODS We randomly assigned patients to receive one of three therapies: an initial vancomycin regimen (500 mg orally four times per day for 4 days), followed ...
متن کاملExcretion of Host DNA in Feces Is Associated with Risk of Clostridium difficile Infection
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is intricately linked to the health of the gastrointestinal tract and its indigenous microbiota. In this study, we assessed whether fecal excretion of host DNA is associated with CDI development. Assuming that shedding of epithelial cell increases in the inflamed intestine, we used human DNA excretion as a marker of intestinal insult. Whole-genome shotgun s...
متن کاملFeces transplantation for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection: US experience and recommendations
P atients who have failed to respond to repeated antibiotic treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (RCDI) present a particularly difficult challenge. Recent investigations of patients with RCDI have demonstrated significant disruption of the intestinal microbiome diversity as well as bacterial richness (1). Following the initial report on fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) ...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of a Toxin-Positive Clostridium difficile Strain Isolated from Murine Feces
Herein, we report the genome sequence of a Clostridium difficile strain isolated from the feces of antibiotic-treated C57BL/6 mice. We have named this strain, which differs considerably from those of the previously sequenced C. difficile strains, LEM1.
