The role of bile-metabolising enzymes in the pathogenesis of Clostridioides difficile infection, and the impact of faecal microbiota transplantation
2019-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The pathogenesis of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), and mechanisms of efficacy of faecal microbiota transplant (FMT) in treating recurrent CDI (rCDI), remain poorly-understood. Certain bile acids affect the ability of C. difficile to undergo germination or vegetative growth. Loss of gut microbiota-derived bile-metabolising enzymes may predispose to CDI via perturbation of bile metabolism, and restitution...
