[…] multiple arsenal of toxins and virulence genes of Clostridium perfringens, together with its ability to form spores, cause severe diseases such as gas gangrene (clostridial myonecrosis), food-poisoning, enteric diseases (including antibiotics-associated diarrhea, hemorrhagic enteritis and necrotic enteritis) in various hosts [1]. C. perfringens produces at least 20 extracellular toxins and hydrolytic enzymes, each with different biological action mechanisms and cellular targets [2]. They are classified […]

[…] fulminans is a rare but potentially life-threatening disorder that can develop in children and adults. Although Neisseria meningitidis is frequently reported as the causative pathogen, cases involving anaerobic bacteria are rare [1,2]. Clostridium porci is an obligate anaerobic bacterium first identified in 2020 as part of the intestinal microbiota of pigs [3]. C. porci is also present in the human gut microbiota and is more prevalent in adults with depression than in healthy controls [4], whereas […]

[…] Clostridium scindens is a keystone bacterial species in the mammalian gut that, while low in abundance, has a significant impact on bile acid and steroid metabolism. Numerous studies indicate that the two most studied strains of C. scindens (i.e. ATCC 35704 and VPI 12708) are important for a myriad of physiological processes in the host. We focus on both historical and current microbiological and molecular biology work on the Hylemon-Björkhem pathway and the steroid-17,20-desmolase pathway that […]

Clostridium butyricum (C. butyricum) is a strict anaerobe, producing butyric acid as a metabolic byproduct, hence also called butyric acid bacteria. C. butyricum live capsule (brand name: Baoluan, manufactured by Qingdao Donghai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., formulation: 500mg/bag, each bag containing no less than 5.0 × 10^6 CFU of […]

The patient fully recovered after surgical debridement and two weeks of antibiotic therapy. Conclusions Infections caused by C. celerecrescens are exceedingly rare in clinical practice. This case highlights the bacterium’s ability to adhere to a bamboo foreign body, leading to the formation of a rare brain abscess. mNGS proves to be a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying uncommon infectious […]

[…] To identify the source of Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum) involved in a food poisoning case in Kunming and analyze its molecular characteristics. Results This study examined samples from a clustered food poisoning incident, including pickled pig liver consumed by three patients, hospital vomit from a deceased patient, and household waste mixed with vomit. Enrichment culture, microscopic examination, and real-time quantitative PCR confirmed the presence of C. botulinum (designated KM001) with […]

The most common bacteria in AGE were Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (28%, 25/89) and Clostridium difficile (16%, 14/89). Dientamoeba fragilis was the only detected parasite in AGE (7%, 6/89), and was not associated with symptoms (OR 1.4; 95% CI 0.4–5.5). Pathogen loads in symptomatic and asymptomatic pairs correlated with symptoms for norovirus GII, astrovirus and sapovirus (each p […]

Recent findings Diagnostics for diarrhea have now commonly incorporated multiplex gastrointestinal panels that provide rapid testing and identification of pathogens. The rate of Clostridium difficile in the transplant population has increased and fidaxomicin is now recommended as the therapy of choice for first episode and recurrences where available. Oral vancomycin remains an alternative. Norovirus is important to rule out in […]

However, deaths among children and adults have plateaued, and tetanus remains an important vaccine-preventable cause of morbidity and mortality, notably in southern Asia, southeast Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. Tetanus results from infections with spore-forming Clostridium tetani bacteria, usually acquired via contaminated wounds and […]

Finally, we found that the correlations between gut bacterial communities and metabolic consequences of the HFD were altered by the IST. Conclusion The IST and the HFD have specific consequences on the gut microbiota and metabolism. We hypothesize that the metabolic consequences are at least partially mediated by IST/HFD-induced […]

The stool samples were in groups of 8 and were tested using floating microspheres DNA extraction followed by Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) and lateral flow assay detection. Pathogens tested include Clostridium difficile, Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella enterica Typhimurium, Shigella spp., STEC (stx1, stx2), Vibrio spp., and Yersinia enterocolitica. The same samples were tested using BioFire GI Panel (gold standard), and the results were […]

Outcomes of interest included antibiotic use (number of patients and days saved), hospital admission (admissions avoided and days saved), intensive care unit admission, adverse events, and clostridium difficile infection. One-way sensitivity analyses were conducted to explore parameter uncertainty. Scenario analyses were conducted according to age group, province, and impact of LMMBV on hospitalization. Results In the base case, LMMBV plus SOC […]

[…] Background Precision in detecting pathogens in sepsis patients is crucial for deploying targeted therapeutic strategies. The objective of the present investigation was to assess the efficacy of targeted nanopore sequencing (TNPseq) as a method for detecting sepsis pathogens. Methods For this investigation, we stratified 90 patients with sepsis into ‘improved’ and ‘unimproved’ groups based on their clinical outcomes. Pathogenic microorganisms were detected in various sample types on the day of […]

[…] a severe bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, poses an important threat to human health. The bacterium enters the body particularly through the skin contaminated with soil, saliva, or faeces [1]. The symptoms of tetanus typically appear within a few days to several weeks after infection. Once inside the body, C. tetani produces a neurotoxin called tetanospasmin which affects the nervous system, causing muscle spasms and rigidity. The symptoms, disease severity and the […]

To date, approximately 200 Clostridium spp. have been identified. Clostridium spp. cause enteritis, skin and soft tissue infections, peritonitis, and bacteremia [1,2]. In particular, the incidence of bacteremia caused by Clostridium spp. is high among older adults with comorbidities [3,4]. Clostridium spp. account for 10–25% of obligate anaerobic […]

Clostridium botulinum type A was detected in their faeces and the peanut butter by PCR and culture. Whole genome sequencing confirmed identical strains, identifying the peanut butter as the source of infection. The infant was treated with human-derived antitoxin Botulism Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) (BIG-IV) and recovered well. This case highlights […]
