Dietary fiber modulates the window of susceptibility to Clostridioides difficile infection
Clostridioides difficile epidemiology is rapidly evolving, and understanding the factors
that contribute to one’s risk of C. difficile infection (CDI) is urgently needed.
Based on our observations in ...
Excited to share our new work in @aga-gastro.bsky.social! We show that dietary fiber alters the window of susceptibility to C. difficile following antibiotic exposure. This really fantastic study was co-led by an amazing team @rinniehewlett.bsky.social @alhecht.bsky.social and Amanda PeBenito.
