Perils and pitfalls of probiotic quasi-experimental studies for primary prevention of Clostridioides difficile infection: A review of the evidence

Lynne McFarland, Stuart B. Johnson, Charlesnika T. Evans

Summary: The review examined quasi-experimental studies adding probiotics to infection control protocols to reduce CDI rates, finding that certain probiotics showed promise in reducing infections. However, the study design was influenced by various factors that must be carefully considered.

Summary: In the MODIFY I/II trials, infection with BI strains of C. difficile was associated with poor outcomes. Bezlotoxumab treatment was effective in both BI and non-BI subpopulations.

The Relative Role of Toxins A and B in the Virulence of Clotridioides difficile

Andrew M. Skinner, S. Tyler Phillips, Michelle M. Merrigan, Kevin J. O'Leary, Susan P. Sambol, Farida Siddiqui, Lance R. Peterson, Dale N. Gerding, Stuart Johnson

Summary: Most pathogenic strains of C. difficile possess two large molecular weight single unit toxins that disrupt the actin cytoskeleton of intestinal epithelial cells, leading to diarrhea. While TcdB alone can cause disease, TcdA-/TcdB+ mutant strains have been shown to be responsible for C. difficile infection, which are typically mild in nature.

A Tapered-pulsed Fidaxomicin Regimen Following Treatment in Patients With Multiple Clostridioides difficile Infection Recurrences

Andrew M. Skinner, Xing Tan, Benjamin D. Sirbu, Larry H. Danziger, Dale N. Gerding, Stuart Johnson

Summary: The tapered-pulsed fidaxomicin regimen shows promising results in managing multiple recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections (mrCDI), with sustained clinical response rates of 74% at 30 days and 61% at 90 days.

Potential Roles for Probiotics in the Treatment of COVID-19 Patients and Prevention of Complications Associated with Increased Antibiotic Use

Ravina Kullar, Stuart Johnson, Lynne V. McFarland, Ellie J. C. Goldstein

Summary: Medical care for hospitalized COVID-19 patients is constantly evolving, with a majority receiving empiric antibiotics which can lead to antibiotic-related diarrhea. Strategies such as antimicrobial stewardship programs and specific probiotic strains have shown promise in reducing these adverse effects and are currently being studied in trials for COVID-19 patients.

Summary: This guideline offers focused updates on the management of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in adults, specifically addressing the use of fidaxomicin and bezlotoxumab. Recommendations are based on evidence from systematic literature reviews and rated using the GRADE approach.

Durable reduction of Clostridioides difficile infection recurrence and microbiome restoration after treatment with RBX2660: results from an open-label phase 2 clinical trial

Summary: In this Phase 2 trial, RBX2660 was found to be safe and effective in reducing the recurrence of rCDI compared to a historical control group. Microbiome changes in participants treated with RBX2660 were consistent with protective changes against C. difficile recurrence.

Summary: This study aims to compare three antibiotic treatments for patients with recurrent CDI and determine the optimal treatment. The study is designed as a prospective, double-blind, multi-center clinical trial, and includes protocol modifications based on early trial experience and clinical realities.

Absence of toxin gene transfer from Clostridioides difficile strain 630Δerm to nontoxigenic C. difficile strain NTCD-M3r in filter mating experiments

Susan P. Sambol, Stuart Johnson, Adam Cheknis, Dale N. Gerding

Summary: This study successfully transferred the pathogenicity locus (PaLoc) from toxigenic Clostridioides difficile strain to a nontoxigenic strain CD37 but not to the nontoxigenic strain NTCD-M3r. This finding provides important insights into the mechanism of toxin transfer in Clostridioides difficile.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of Clostridioides difficile to omadacycline and comparator antimicrobials

Summary: Omadacycline has demonstrated a high level of activity towards C. difficile compared to commonly used antimicrobials for CABP and ABSSSI. The study results show that there were no notable elevations in the in vitro omadacycline MIC among contemporary C. difficile isolates.

Effective Colonization by Nontoxigenic Clostridioides difficile REA Strain M3 (NTCD-M3) Spores following Treatment with Either Fidaxomicin or Vancomycin

Susan P. Sambol, Andrew M. Skinner, Fidel Serna-Perez, Benjamin Owen, Dale N. Gerding, Stuart Johnson

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the colonization of NTCD-M3 after treatment with fidaxomicin, an alternative antibiotic to vancomycin, in a hamster model of C. difficile infection (CDI). The results showed that NTCD-M3 successfully colonized all hamsters treated with fidaxomicin, similar to those treated with vancomycin. The presence of high levels of OP-1118 and vancomycin in feces during treatment suggests the potential effectiveness of NTCD-M3 for preventing recurrent CDI.
