Exogenous butyrate inhibits butyrogenic metabolism and alters expression of virulence genes in Clostridioides difficile

D. Pensinger, H. A. Dobrila, D. M. Stevenson, N. M. Davis, D. Amador-Noguez, A. J. Hryckowian

This study shows exogenous butyrate inhibits C. difficile growth by interfering with its own butyrate production and alters virulence gene expression.

Butyrate differentiates permissiveness to Clostridioides difficile infection and influences growth of diverse C. difficile isolates

D. Pensinger, A. T. Fisher, H. A. Dobrila, W. Van Treuren, J. O. Gardner, S. K. Higginbottom, M. M. Carter, B. Schumann, C. Bertozzi, V. Anikst, C. Martin, E. Robilotti, J. Chow, R. H. Buck, L. S. Tompkins, , A. J. Hryckowian

This study shows butyrate reduces C. difficile fitness in mice and humans, and inhibits growth of diverse C. difficile isolates, suggesting dietary interventions could help prevent CDI.
