Abstract excerpt
Neutrophils are key first responders in the host response to Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). Although a high number of tissue and blood neutrophils clearly correlates with adverse outcomes in CDI patients, their functional role remains poorly defined. Using murine (CMT-93) and human (Caco-2) intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) lines co-cultured with neutrophils and a pre-clinical mouse model of CDI, we...
