ScienceDaily (Aug. 21, 2011) — Researchers at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston have discovered a molecular process by which the body can defend against the effects ofClostridium difficile infection (CDI), pointing the way to a promising new approach for treating an intestinal disease that has become more common, more severe and harder to cure in recent years.

UGH! Where was this article two semesters ago when I could have used it for my class presentation? LOL.

Hopefully, they'll be able to prove this works. Currently the "gold standard" of treatment for C- Diff is to perform a fecal transplant. (Yup...exactly what it sounds like, only not as gross as you may think.) I'll have to pass it along to my Microbiology instructor. I know she'd like to read it. Thanks!
