Exogenous butyrate inhibits butyrogenic metabolism and alters expression of virulence genes in <i>Clostridioides difficile</i>
2023-07-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The gut microbiome engenders colonization resistance against the diarrheal pathogen Clostridioides difficile but the molecular basis of this colonization resistance is incompletely understood. A prominent class of gut microbiome-produced metabolites important for colonization resistance against C. difficile is short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). In particular, one SCFA (butyrate) decreases the fi...
