Pathogenesis and Clinical Manifestations of , Diarrhea and Colitis,d O’T. 1935). The organism was given its name because it grew very slowly in culture and was difficult to isolate in pure culture. Its presence in the stool of 50% of healthy neonates suggested that . was a commensal not a pathogen, even though it was toxigenic in broth culture. Not long after its o

Treatment of ,-Associated Diarrhea and Colitis,oice has been toward greater use of metronidazolc rather than vancomycin because of increasing concern about vancomycin resistance in organisms such as the enterococcus (HICPAC 1995). However, this should not be interpreted to mean that improvements in therapy are not needed. There continue to be ma

Genetics of , Toxins,nd, had been isolated previously from many patients, but had been ignored since it was “nonpathogenic”. Further investigation showed that toxic activity in culture filtrates from C. . was neutralized by C. . antisera. Thus the fortuitous cross-neutralizing activity of C. . antisera led to the discov

During the two decades since its rediscovery, a great deal has been learned about the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and management of . diarrhea, yet many challenges remain. At pre
