Colonic epithelial regeneration shapes susceptibility to Clostridioides difficile infection

Adrianne D. Gladden, Paola Zucchi, A.T. Tai, Rebecca Batorsky, Carol A. Kumamoto

The paper identifies an inducible microfold-like cell population in the colon associated with severe Clostridioides difficile infection susceptibility and shows its role in epithelial repair and immune response.

Clostridioides difficile stimulates CCL20 expression in human colonoid monolayers in a transwell-based co-culture system that supports its anaerobic growth

Paola Zucchi, Adrianne D. Gladden, Andrew W. Day, Jules M. Dressler, Revathi Govind, Mohammad Almeqdadi, Jatin Roper, A.T. Tai, Rebecca Batorsky, Carol A. Kumamoto

This study develops a co-culture system to study C. difficile interaction with human intestinal epithelium and finds CCL20 expression is upregulated in response to the bacterium.
