Protective Factors in the Intestinal Microbiome Against Clostridium difficile Infection in Recipients of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Abstract

Colonization with these 3 bacterial groups is associated with a lower risk of CDI. These groups have been shown to be vital components of the intestinal microbiota. Targeted efforts to maintain them may help minimize the risk of CDI in this at-risk population.
