Stool interleukin-1β differentiates Clostridioides difficile infection from asymptomatic carriage and non-C.difficile infection diarrhea.

TL;DR: Stool concentrations of the inflammasome pathway, pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β can accurately differentiate CDI from asymptomatic carriage and non-CDI diarrhea, making it a promising biomarker for CDI diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of Intestinal Mycobiota of Patients with Clostridioides difficile Infection among a Prospective Inpatient Cohort

TL;DR: A series of fungal markers that may add diagnostic values for the development of a more systematic approach to accurate CDI diagnosis are reported, providing specific markers of stool fungi that distinguish CDI from all non-CDI hospitalized patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Higher in vivo fecal concentrations of Clostridioides difficile toxins A and B in patients with NAP-1/027 strain infection.

TL;DR: Ultrasensitive, quantitative Clostridioides difficile stool toxin measurement demonstrated significantly higher concentrations of toxins A and B in patients infected with the NAP-1/027 strain compared to patientsinfected with other strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Baseline stool toxin concentration is associated with risk of recurrence in children with Clostridioides difficile infection.

TL;DR: In this article, a prospective cohort study of inpatients aged 2-17 years with Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) who received treatment showed that higher stool concentrations of toxins A and B are associated with severe baseline disease, CDI-attributable severe outcomes, and recurrence.
