MICROBIOTA DYNAMICS IN PATIENTS TREATED WITH FECAL MICROBIOTA TRANSPLANTATION FOR RECURRENT CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE INFECTION.

Microbiota dynamics in patients treated with fecal microbiota transplantation for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection.

Clostridium difficile causes Boot Bags antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembraneous colitis and is responsible for a large and increasing fraction of hospital-acquired infections.Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an alternate treatment option for recurrent C.difficile infection (RCDI) refractory to antibiotic therapy.It has recently

Thioredoxin deficiency increases oxidative stress and causes bilateral symmetrical degeneration in rat midbrain

Thioredoxin, encoded by Txn1, acts as a critical antioxidant in the defense against oxidative stress by regulating the dithiol/disulfide balance of interacting proteins.The role of thioredoxin in the central nervous system (CNS) is largely unknown.A phenotype-driven study of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea-mutated rats with wild-running seizures revealed the
