Clostridium difficile infection is the leading causeof hospital-associated gastrointestinal illness. It is typicallytreated with a course of antibiotics, but the infection recursin about 20% of cases. C. difficile infections are difficult toeradicate because the bacteria exist in two forms: a repli-cating, toxin-producing form and a spore form that is resis-tant to antibiotics. Fecal microbiota transplantation—thetransfer of normal gut microbiota from a healthy individ-ual—can resolve >90% of recurrent infections, a much bet-ter cure rate than further antibiotic treatment alone. Whydo you suppose microbiota transplantation is so effective?
