PY - 2017 DA - 2017/11/13 TI - Identifying predictive features of Clostridium difficile infection recurrence before, during, and after primary antibiotic treatment JO - Microbiome SP - 148 VL - 5 IS - 1 AB - Colonization by the pathogen Clostridium difficile often occurs in the background of a disrupted microbial community. Identifying specific organisms conferring resistance to invasion by C. difficile is desirable because diagnostic and therapeutic strategies based on the human microbiota have the potential to provide more precision to the management and treatment of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and its recurrence.
