Clostridioides difficile is an urgent antimicrobial-resistant bacterium causing a range of diseases, and commensal gut microbes play a critical role in providing resistance against it, potentially serving as a non-antibiotic alternative therapy for prevention and treatment.
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.
