Olfactomedin-4 <sup>+</sup> neutrophils exacerbate intestinal epithelial damage and worsen host survival after <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> infection
2023-08-22
Abstract excerpt
Neutrophils are key first responders to Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). Excessive tissue and blood neutrophils are associated with worse histopathology and adverse outcomes, however their functional role during CDI remains poorly defined. Utilizing intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-neutrophil co-cultures and a pre-clinical animal model of CDI, we show that neutrophils exacerbate C. difficile -induced IE...
