Abstract:收起
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the leading cause of gastroenteritis-associated death in North America . First line treatment is typically vancomycin, which kills vegetative forms and eliminates production of the two pathogenic toxins: TcdA and TcdB . However, 25-35% of patients experience recurrent disease . Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) is an effective secondline therapy for recurrent CDI , but remains difficult to access, carries infectious risk if not done carefully, and multiple treatments may be needed.
