Identification of Simplified Microbial Communities That Inhibit Clostridioides difficile Infection through Dilution/Extinction

Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and a significant health care burden. Fecal microbiota transplantation is highly effective at treating recurrent C. difficile disease; however, uncertainties about the undefined composition of fecal material and potentia...
