In this paper, the authors used high-density Roche 454 pyrosequencing to survey the distal gut microbiota for 39 individuals with CDI, 36 subjects with C. difficile-negative nosocomial diarrhea (CDN), and 40 healthy control subjects.Abstract:
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) causes nearly half a million cases of diarrhea and colitis in the United States each year. Although the importance of the gut microbiota in C. difficile pathogenesis is well recognized, components of the human gut flora critical for colonization resistance are not known. Culture-independent high-density Roche 454 pyrosequencing was used to survey the distal gut microbiota for 39 individuals with CDI, 36 subjects with C. difficile-negative nosocomial diarrhea (CDN), and 40 healthy control subjects. A total of 526,071 partial 16S rRNA sequence reads of the V1 to V3 regions were aligned with 16S databases, identifying 3,531 bacterial phylotypes from 115 fecal samples. Genomic analysis revealed significant alterations of organism lineages in both the CDI and CDN groups, which were accompanied by marked decreases in microbial diversity and species richness driven primarily by a paucity of phylotypes within the Firmicutes phylum. Normally abundant gut commensal organisms, including the Ruminococcaceae and Lachnospiraceae families and butyrate-producing C2 to C4 anaerobic fermenters, were significantly depleted in the CDI and CDN groups. These data demonstrate associations between the depletion of Ruminococcaceae, Lachnospiraceae, and butyrogenic bacteria in the gut microbiota and nosocomial diarrhea, including C. difficile infection. Mechanistic studies focusing on the functional roles of these organisms in diarrheal diseases and resistance against C. difficile colonization are warranted.read more

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that high blood pressure is associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis, both in animal and human hypertension, and dietary intervention to correct gut microbiota could be an innovative nutritional therapeutic strategy for hypertension.

TL;DR: The differences between PPI users and non-users observed in this study are consistently associated with changes towards a less healthy gut microbiome, in line with known changes that predispose to C. difficile infections.

TL;DR: A diet high in fiber led to changes in the gut microbiota that played a protective role in the development of cardiovascular disease, and the favorable effects of fiber may be explained by the generation and distribution of one of the main metabolites of the Gut microbiota, the short-chain fatty acid acetate.

TL;DR: Recommendations for protocols to collect, process and sequence bacterial 16S rDNA from fecal samples are presented--some major points are bead-beating in hot phenol or use of the PSP kit improves recovery; storage methods can be adjusted based on experimental convenience; unweighted (presence-absence) comparisons are less affected by lysis method.

TL;DR: The first-line agents for CDI treatment are metronidazole and vancomycin, with the latter being the preferred agent in patients with severe disease as it has significantly superior efficacy.

Fecal bacteriotherapy for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection
TL;DR: Fecal bacteriotherapy is a low tech procedure which is easy to perform, and breaks the cycles of repeated antibiotic use, which in turn reduces the risk of antibiotic associated resistance and adds potential cost savings when compared to repeated antibiotic administration and hospitalizations.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that a single component of the GI microbiota, a murine Lachnospiraceae isolate, could partially restore colonization resistance against C. difficile in germfree mice.
