摘要
Treatment of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection is challenging. New research now replicates human disease in a mouse model, shedding light on why antibiotics often fail to prevent further recurrences and demonstrating that targeted manipulation of the gut microbiota could be a feasible treatment option.
