Broad Coverage of Genetically Diverse Strains of Clostridium difficile by Actoxumab and Bezlotoxumab Predicted by <i>In Vitro</i> Neutralization and Epitope Modeling
2 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) are the leading cause of hospital-acquired infectious diarrhea and primarily involve two exotoxins, TcdA and TcdB. Actoxumab and bezlotoxumab are human monoclonal antibodies that neutralize the cytotoxic/cytopathic effects of TcdA and TcdB, respectively. In a phase II clinical study, the actoxumab-bezlotoxumab combination reduced the rate of CDI recurrence in patients who...
