Clostridioides difficilehas become the most common healthcare-associated pathogen in the United States, leading the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to classifyC. difficileas an “urgent” public health threat that requires “urgent and aggressive action.” This call to action has led to new discoveries that have advanced our understanding ofClostridioides difficileinfection (CDI) immunology and clinical development of immunologic-based therapies for CDI prevention. However, CDI immunology research has been limited in pediatric populations, and several unanswered questions remain regarding the function of host immune response in pediatric CDI pathogenesis and the potential role of immunologic-based therapies in children. This review summarizes the innate and adaptive immune responses previously characterized in animals and humans and provides a current update on clinical development of immunologic-based therapies for CDI prevention in adults and children. These data inform the future research needs for children.
