University of Virginia School of Medicine Researchers Find Why Certain Patients Are Highly Susceptible to C.diff. Infections

University of Virginia School of Medicine Researchers Find Why Certain Patients Are Highly Susceptible to C.diff. Infections

The new finding from the University of Virginia School of Medicine (UVA) explains why certain patients are highly susceptible

to C. diff infections, provides doctors with a way to predict disease severity and points to a new way to treat the often-deadly condition.

The UVA researchers found that the immune response to C. diff causes tissue damage and even death through a type of immune cell…

Researchers at Chinese University of Hong Kong Develop Fluorescent Microrobots to Detect C.diff.

Researchers at Chinese University of Hong Kong Develop Fluorescent Microrobots to Detect C.diff.

Researchers at Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have developed fluorescent microrobots that can spot C. diff in a stool sample within a matter of minutes without relying on expensive laboratory equipment.

The technology relies on fungi spore-inspired microrobots that feature fluorescent functionalised carbon nanodots. When the microrobots encounter toxins produced by C. diff, the…
