Journal Article
Gabriel Weston: Fresh thinking on bacteria
2019
Overview
Maybe it’s this moralistic approach to nature that’s stopped me realising what an amazing organism the recently renamed Clostridioides difficile is. After all, doesn’t it seem prurient to take an interest in this bug, which is the biggest cause of nosocomial diarrhoea worldwide and has been slapped with the most severe warning level by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention? It’s surely right that, when I flew to the US with the BBC a few years ago to film the gastroenterologist Colleen Kelly using faecal microbiota transplant to vanquish an intractable case of C difficile in a patient,1 we turned our camera on the cure for this devastating infection rather than revelling in its cause.
