C. diff, which is short for Clostridioides difficile, is a type of bacteria that may cause serious problems in the digestive system. It is one of the most common causes of diarrhea linked to ...
Known as one of the superbugs that resists most antibiotics, Clostridioides difficile, or C. diff, causes inflammation of the colon and can lead to diarrhea and sometimes death. The stubborn bacteria ...
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 ...
Newly discovered iron storage 'ferrosomes' inside the bacterium C. diff -- the leading cause of hospital-acquired infections -- are important for infection in an animal model and could offer new ...
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 ...
A new imaging approach used microscopic glowing tags to reveal gene activity in individual C. diff cells in gut tissue samples from infected mice. Here, a resulting image shows a round cross-section ...
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 ...
