TL;DR: The infusion of donor feces was significantly more effective for the treatment of recurrent C. difficile infection than the use of vancomycin and patients showed increased fecal bacterial diversity, similar to that in healthy donors, with an increase in Bacteroidetes species and clostridium clusters IV and XIVa and a decrease in Proteobacteria species.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a search on MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science with both MeSH terms and text words for both aspergillosis and the sandwich ELISA.

TL;DR: Asymptomatic carriage of a respiratory virus occurs frequently in young children, and significant differences in the amount of virus present were observed between cases and controls, suggesting that defining cutoff levels should be feasible and represents the next necessary step for diagnosing viral respiratory infections using molecular tests.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the effects of SDD and SOD, applied as unit-wide interventions, on antibiotic resistance and patient outcome, and found that SDD was associated with lower day-28 mortality, rectal carriage of antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacteria, and ICU-acquired bacteremia but a more pronounced gradual increase in aminoglycoside-resistant bacteria.

TL;DR: In this paper, outbreaks due to Clostridium difficile polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ribotype 027, toxinotype III, were detected in 7 hospitals in the Netherlands from April 2005 to February 2006.
