A new study from North Carolina State University shows that the inflammation caused by Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection gives the pathogen a two-fold advantage: by both creating an ...
Clostridium difficile bacteria, computer illustration. C. difficile is a normal inhabitant of the human intestine, but it can become a pathogen when antibiotics disrupt the normal intestinal flora and ...
Charles Darkoh, Ph.D., a researcher at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) School of Public Health, was recently awarded a five-year, $1.9 million R01 grant by the ...
The pathogen C. diff—the most common cause of health care-associated infectious diarrhea—can use a compound that kills the human gut's resident microbes to survive and grow, giving it a competitive ...
Affecting roughly half a million Americans each year, bacterial infections caused by Clostridioides difficile—commonly known as C. diff—are a serious and persistent problem for patients and hospitals ...

C. diff is a bacterium that causes diarrhea, often with severe or even fatal consequences. As part of its growth cycle, C. diff produces two toxins which cause inflammation and damage the lining of ...
Matthew Munneke, left, and Eric Skaar, PhD, MPH, use anaerobic chambers to study bacteria like C. diff that die in the presence of oxygen. The pathogen C. diff — the most common cause of health ...
