Characterization of the clade 4 non-toxigenic C. difficile isolate L-NTCD03 carrying the cfr(B) gene

Britt Nibbering, Sam Nooij, Céline Harmanus…·Wiep Klaas Smits

The paper characterizes a non-toxigenic C. difficile strain, L-NTCD03, showing antimicrobial resistance and non-toxicity, suggesting its potential as a live biotherapeutic.

Effect of Genotype and Age on a Defined Microbiota in Gnotobiotic SCID Piglets

Katherine Marie Widmer, Faith M. Rahic-Seggerman, Ahlea Forster…·Christopher Keith Tuggle

The study tests the effect of microbiota complexity and age on gut microbiota stability in SCID piglets, finding age affects composition but not genotype, and the 7-strain consortium is most stable.

Clostridioides difficile infection increases circulating p-cresol levels and dysregulates brain dopamine metabolism: linking gut-brain axis to autism and other neurologic disorders?

Akhil A. Vinithakumari, Piyush Padhi, Belen Hernandez…·Shankumar Mooyottu

This study shows C. difficile infection increases p-cresol and alters dopamine metabolism in mice, linking gut microbiota to neurodevelopmental disorders.
