Clostridium difficile is a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. We report a patient with complicated Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) who developed rapidly progressive acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), for which CDI was the only identifiable source. CDI should be considered in the differential diagnosis for anyone with diarrhea who presents especially in high-risk group...
Complete genome sequences of four toxigenic Clostridium difficile isolates from patients in the lower Hudson Valley, New York, USA, were achieved. These isolates represent four common sequence types (ST1, ST2, ST8, and ST42) belonging to two distinct phylogenetic clades. All isolates have a 4.0- to 4.2-Mb circular chromosome, and one carries a phage.
Clostridium difficile contains many integrated and extrachromosomal genetic elements. In this study, we determined, annotated, and analyzed the complete genome of the C. difficile bacteriophage phiCDIF1296T using single-molecule real-time sequencing technology. To our knowledge, this represents the largest genome (131 kb) of a temperate C. difficile phage recognized so far.
gluD was highly conserved and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) was readily expressed in vitro by all 77 Clostridium difficile ribotypes assayed. All ribotypes, including ARL 002, ARL 027, and ARL 106, were reactive in assays that detect C. difficile GDH.
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.
Colitis caused by Clostridium difficile toxin has been reported in homosexual men. We report a case of C. difficile colitis that occurred in an immunocompetent heterosexual man after forced anal-receptive intercourse.
Penicillin was discovered less than a century ago 1 and since then millions of lives have been saved with the use of antibiotics. 2 Today, antibiotics are among the most frequently prescribed medications in healthcare. 3-5 Even though antibiotics have numerous benefits, they can also have negative consequences that lead to other health related problems. An example of this is Clostridium diffici...
Clostridium difficile infection. The mortality rate of fulminant C. difficile infection is reported to be as high as 50%. Fecal microbiota transplantation is a highly effective treatment in patients with recurrent or refractory C. difficile infection. However, there are few published articles on the use of such transplantation for fulminant C. difficile infection. Here, we report on a patient w...
Cytotoxicity of Clostridium difficile Toxin A for Human Colonie and Pancreatic Carcinoma Cell Lines1
The use of bacterial exotoxins may constitute novel adjuncts to treat ment of gastrointestinal tract malignancies. Clostridium difficile toxin A was evaluated for its cytotoxic effect in vitro on 24 human cell lines and strains including carcinomas of the colon, pancreas, prostate, lung, breast, and lymphoid malignancies, as well as nonmalignant tissues. All nine colon and five pancreas cell li...
42 INTRODUCTION Despite the availability of a growing number of therapeutic options for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), patients in remission remain at constant risk of disease relapse. Clinically, it can be difficult to distinguish between diarrheal relapses of IBD and the presence of enteric infection. Several microorganisms can be seen in association with relapse, includin...
