gram-negative bacteria’s cell membrane is tough to break through. This makes gram-positive bacteria more vulnerable to antibiotics and other antibacterial actions. Clostridium perfringens was ...

Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae and Clostridium difficile. In this Review, we discuss how immune- mediated colonization resistance against antibiotic-resistant intestinal pathogens is influenced ...

Mild Clostridium difficile infection (CDI; stool frequency <four-times daily; no signs of severe colitis), clearly induced by the use of antibiotics, may be treated by stopping the inducing ...

Clostridium ... C. difficile toxins A/B assay in development, is demonstrating increased sensitivity and specificity, showing promise at addressing the challenges of the false-negative and false ...

The pathogen Clostridium ... and negative, or positive? Do the fungi actually perpetuate gut dysbiosis?" The researchers believe it's a research question worth pursuing. C. difficile infection ...

Life-threatening infections caused by bacteria called Clostridium difficile now sicken nearly half a million Americans a year, health officials said Wednesday. The number of these infections ...

Poster presentations include mechanistic data from VE303 Phase 2 CONSORTIUM study that explore how VE303 prevents recurrence of Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection A novel defined ...

Clostridium difficile is a gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacillus that can cause pseudomembranous colitis and other C. difficile–associated diseases.

On the other hand, gram-negative bacteria stain pink instead. Both groups of bacteria can cause disease. However, they require different treatments. If you have a bacterial infection, the Gram ...

Conversely, Gram-negative bacteria do not hold the dye well. Gram-negative bacteria may appear red under the microscope because red-pink iodine is used alongside the Gram stain as a control.
