Clostridium Difficile Infection Case Study

Improved Essays
While studying the different solutions to curing the Clostridium difficile infection, doctors were able to find a way to change poop, of healthy people, into pills. Using these pills, Doctor Thomas Louie created a one-time treatment, personalized for each patient. In this method, the stool from a donor is first processed in a lab-to separate the food and extract the bacteria to clean it-and then to pack the product into small triple-coated gel capsules. In order to prevent any smells from releasing the body, the capsules are made to remain intact as they exceed past the stomach before dissolving.

    Article Review Clostridium difficile is a bacterial organism that can be found in a small percentage of individuals alongside the natural flora of the digestive system; it produces spores, which can live for long periods of time outside of the body and due to their nature are excreted within fecal matter (Kenneley, 2013, pp. 63). According to Irena Kenneley in the article "Clostridium difficile infection is on the rise", C. difficile is increasing in frequency among individual populations which were previously considered to be low risk for contracting this infection. It is also believed that the current strain of C. difficile is far more deadly and resistant to many antibiotics that are usually used in the treatment of the infection. In…
