The initial gut microbiota and response to antibiotic perturbation influence <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> colonization in mice
2020-08-28
Abstract excerpt
The gut microbiota has a key role in determining susceptibility to Clostridioides difficile infections (CDIs). However, much of the mechanistic work examining CDIs in mouse models use animals obtained from a single source. We treated mice from 6 sources (2 University of Michigan colonies and 4 commercial vendors) with clindamycin, followed by a C. difficile challenge and then measured C. difficile colonization...
