Gut microbiota composition and Clostridium difficile infection in hospitalized elderly individuals: a metagenomic study

11 May 2016

Abstract excerpt

The gut microbiota composition of elderly hospitalized patients with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) exposed to previous antibiotic treatment is still poorly investigated. The aim of this study was to compare the microbiota composition by means of 16S rRNA microbial profiling among three groups of hospitalized elderly patients (age ≥ 65) under standard diet including 25 CDI-positive (CDI group), 29...
