While the Gram-positive bugs methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) and Clostridium difficile are the most well-known drug-resistant bacteria, many Gram-negative species are particularly hard to treat because they have an extra outer membrane that shields them from drugs.

She can't stop worrying about the rumble in her gut, or the breeding microbes therein, or the possibility of contracting an infection involving clostridium difficile, or the prospect of sweating, or not being able to stop sweating, or touching someone who is sweating.

En outre, il est difficile de trouver le temps nécessaire pour lutter contre la pseudoscience quand la science elle-même vous prend tout votre temps et votre énergie, et que le milieu académique tend à décourager les activités parascientifiques (comme la vulgarisation).

There's a big push for new antibiotics, of course, which could work to treat gonorrhea and a slew of other disease-causing bacteria, such as C. difficile and CRE on the CDC's hit list, but some are targeting their efforts to gonorrhea in particular.

Seres, which is backed by Swiss food giant Nestle, became the first microbiome drug developer to go public in June 2015 but it suffered a setback last year when its leading drug candidate failed in a trial against C. difficile, a debilitating gut infection.

In the United States, the CDC describes three "urgent" antimicrobial resistant threats: C. difficile or C. diff, which causes life-threatening diarrhea and colitis (an inflammation of the colon) in, mostly, patients who have recently been given antibiotics, infects 500,000 people annually and leads to 15,000 deaths.

Antibiotics disturb the uneasy bacterial truce that exists within the gut, promoting the growth and proliferation of pathogenic bacteria, like the colitis-causing Clostridium difficile and Salmonella, the villain in many a food poisoning and a normal resident of the human gut, albeit in relatively small, safe concentrations.

Until now, there has never been a clinical trial conducted in more than one medical center that has investigated so-called fecal transplants as a first therapy for C. difficile infections, said Dr. Michael Bretthauer, a gastroenterologist at the University of Oslo and lead author of the new study.

Fecal transplants — in which a solution containing donor stool is introduced to a sick patient via colonoscopy, enema, or tubes that go up the nose and into the gut — have been successful at temporarily changing patients' microbiomes to rid them of infections like Clostridium difficile, a tough-to-cure diarrheal disease.

In the first room of the show, which showcases images of playful and personified skyscrapers, four versions of the print "Pivotage Difficile" ("Difficult Steering," 1947) installed side-by-side show dramatic differences from one version to the next, with a fuzzy pillar gradually sprouting alongside the crystalline tower on the image's right side.

A design thinking approach was used by a group of researchers at McGill University in Montreal, who found that the closer a sink was to a patient with Clostridium difficile, a hard to treat and highly contagious hospital infection, the more likely hospital workers were to wash their hands after seeing the patient.

In the months following my recovery from not one, but two, bouts of clostridium difficile, I noticed that eating anything with dairy in it (yogurt, cheese, even a splash of milk on my cereal) was becoming an increasingly uncomfortable process (read: I was paying more daily visits to the bathroom than I have fingers).

Among the greatest threats the report cites are a form of drug-resistant gonorrhea that has been spreading among young people and gay men, tough-to-treat urinary tract infections that strike otherwise healthy women, and Clostridioides difficile, or C. diff, a deadly bacterial infection that ravages the guts of hospitalized patients, sickening 2100,2181 and killing 12,800 each year.

Together, the studies associated PPI use with a 603 percent heightened risk of developing dementia, 44 percent heightened risk for osteoporotic bone fractures, 20 percent heightened risk for heart attack, 70 percent heightened risk for clostridium difficile infections (which can be life-threatening), 30 to 50 percent heightened risk for chronic kidney disease, and an increased risk of stomach cancer.
