Recurrent Clostridium difficile infection associates with distinct bile acid and microbiome profiles
Background: The healthy microbiome protects against the development of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), which typically develops following antibiotics. The microbiome metabolises primary to secondary bile acids, a process if disrupted by antibiotics, may be critical for the initiation of CDI....
