    Abstract: A method for quantifying bacterial spore germination can include creating an ex vivo assay including bacteria spores and a homogenized stool sample. The ex vivo assay can be loaded into a microfluidic chip. Vegetative bacteria and the bacteria spores can be detected by sampling the mixture in the microfluidic chip using impedance cytometry to assess disruption of host microbiota.

  • Patent number: 9387199
    Abstract: C. difficile infection (CDI) is the most common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Unfortunately, antibiotic therapy remains as the standard treatment for this antibiotic-induced disease and relapses are common. Antibiotic treatment typically is given for 10 to 14 days for initial or second episode of CDI. For recurrent episodes, more prolonged courses are recommended. It is disclosed herein that lower dose or shorter course of the antimicrobial treatment is sufficient to treat the disease and prevent recurrent disease by enabling a good immunologic response to infection, and perhaps also by better preserving normal flora, thus protecting against relapses or reinfection.
