CF patients are extremely vulnerable to a variety of pathogens, but it’s highly unusual to see a polyclonal infection involving 6 separate species.
A Baylor team’s research suggests that that the dramatic increase in nosocomial Clostridium difficile infections can be attributed, at least partially, to a type of sugar called trehalose.
Trehalose, a type of carbohydrate (sugar), could hold the key to a new treatment for diabetes and other metabolic diseases, but it might also fuel more severe Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infections.
