Host origin of microbiota drives functional recovery and Clostridioides difficile clearance in mice

Sophie Millard, Kimberly C. Vendrov, Vincent Bensan Young, Anna Maria Seekatz

This study shows that mouse-derived microbiota is more effective than human-derived microbiota in clearing C. difficile in a mouse model of recurrent infection.
