Advances in Study on Role of Reconstructing Intestinal Flora Homeostasis in Treatment of Clostridium difficile Infection / 胃肠病学

ABSTRACT

Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a growing public health concern worldwide. Antibiotics are currently the preferred treatment for CDI, but the heavy use of antibiotics has resulted in the emergence of highly resistant strains of Clostridium difficile and recurrent CDI. More and more studies show that restoring intestinal flora homeostasis is an important strategy for the treatment of CDI. This article reviewed the relationship between intestinal flora homeostasis and CDI, and the treatment strategies for CDI by restoring intestinal flora homeostasis.
