Clostridioides difficile Infection in Hospitalized Pediatric Patients: Comparisons of Epidemiology, Testing, and Treatment from 2013 to 2019

Price T. Edwards et al.

Summary: This study compared the incidence, epidemiology, testing patterns, treatment, and outcomes of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) among hospitalized pediatric patients from 2013 to 2019. The results showed a decreasing trend in CDI incidence and a higher proportion of patients with cancer and gastrointestinal conditions.

Redefining Clostridioides difficile infection antibiotic response and clinical outcomes

Anne J. Gonzales-Luna et al.

Summary: With the approval and development of narrow-spectrum antibiotics for the treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), the primary endpoint for treatment success of CDI antibiotic treatment trials has shifted from treatment response at end of therapy to sustained response 30 days after completed therapy. The current definition of a successful response to treatment (three or fewer unformed bowel movements [UBMs] per day for 1-2 days) has not been validated, does not reflect CDI management, and could impair assessments for successful treatment at 30 days. We propose new definitions to optimise trial design to assess sustained response. Primarily, we suggest that the initial response at the end of treatment be defined as (1) three or fewer UBMs per day, (2) a reduction in UBMs of more than 50% per day, (3) a decrease in stool volume of more than 75% for those with ostomy, or (4) attainment of bowel movements of Bristol Stool Form Scale types 1-4, on average, by day 2 after completion of primary CDI therapy (ie, assessed on day 11 and day 12 of a 10-day treatment course) and following an investigator determination that CDI treatment can be ceased.

Safety and Tolerability of SER-109 as an Investigational Microbiome Therapeutic in Adults With Recurrent Clostridioides difficile Infection & nbsp;A Phase 3, Open-Label, Single-Arm Trial

Matthew D. Sims et al.

Summary: A safe and effective treatment for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is urgently needed. This study evaluated the safety and rate of CDI recurrence after administration of investigational microbiome therapeutic SER-109 through 24 weeks. The results showed that the rate of recurrent CDI was low regardless of the number of prior recurrences, demographics, or diagnostic approach, supporting the beneficial impact of SER-109 for patients with CDI.

Washed preparation of faecal microbiota changes the transplantation related safety, quantitative method and delivery

Gaochen Lu et al.

Summary: This study describes the methodology development of faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in China from manual to washing preparation, and provides insights into donor screenings, treatment doses, adverse events and delivery decisions. The success rate of donor screening was found to be 3.1%, and the incidence rate of fever decreased significantly with washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) in ulcerative colitis patients. The study also suggests a new definition for treatment units based on enriched microbiota and proposes a promising method for delivering microbiota through colonic transendoscopic enteral tube.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) on metabolic syndrome (MS) patients in southern China. The results showed that WMT had a significant improvement effect on MS patients, including improvements in comprehensive efficacy and ASCVD risk, as well as improvements in gut microbiota.

Maria Mironova et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of FMT on the mortality rate of patients with severe and fulminant CDI. The results suggest that FMT may decrease the mortality of these patients. However, larger studies are needed to validate these findings.

Molecular characterization of Clostridioides difficile ribotype 027 in a major Chinese hospital

Ren-feng Zhang et al.

Summary: This study identified and characterized five C. difficile 027 isolates in China, showing high resistance to fluoroquinolones. These isolates were confirmed through MLST, PCR ribotyping, and whole genome sequencing. The findings suggest that C. difficile 027 infections may be neglected in China, warranting further epidemiological studies nationwide.

Geographic differences in gut microbiota composition impact susceptibility to enteric infection

Ana Maria Porras et al.

Summary: Large-scale studies of human gut microbiomes have shown broad differences in composition across geographically distinct populations, which may lead to varying levels of resistance to specific diseases. Experimenting with microbiome samples from donors representing different countries, researchers observed geographic differences in susceptibility of mice to specific bacterial infections. Further findings suggest that cohabitation of susceptible and resistant mice can enhance immunity to bacterial infections.
