The human gut microbiota is a diverse ecosystem consisting of thousands of bacterial species. 1 It is thought that one role of this ecosystem is to protect against invasion by pathogens. 2, 3 The predominant understanding of the pathogenesis of CDI is that it requires disruption of the gut microbiota as a prerequisite for the onset of symptomatic disease (Fig. 1). 4 This disruption usually occurs through exposure to antibiotics, which alter the composition and function of the microbiome to a state susceptible to CDI. 5 After exposure to C difficile spores, patients can either become asymptomatically colonized or develop symptomatic infection. 6, 7 Colonization follows germination of the C difficile spores and vegetative outgrowth. Subsequent expression of the toxins TcdA and TcdB, the main virulence factors of C difficile, results in epithelial damage and symptomatic infection. CDI can be self-limited8, 9 but usually requires treatment with antibiotics that have activity against C difficile, 10 although the treatments are nonspecific and have activity against other gut bacteria. Features of infection include diarrhea, leukocytosis, fever, or pseudomembranous colitis. 10 Some patients can experience severe disease, including signs and symptoms such as abdominal pain, ileus, or septic shock that results in admission to an intensive care unit (ICU), abdominal surgery such as colectomy, or even death. 11
