Bile acid dependent attenuation of toxin mediated disease is independent of colonization resistance against C. difficile

Samantha C. Kisthardt, Caroline E. Perkins, Abigail Shahar Gancz…·Casey M. Theriot

This study shows that secondary bile acid metabolism, not nutrient competition, reduces C. difficile toxin-mediated disease in vivo, independent of colonization resistance.
