Taken #antibiotics recently? Talk to your HCP if you develop any side effects, especially severe diarrhea, since that could be a #Cdiff infection. https://bit.ly/3ZUmi8N

C diff ... **spore**??

Fungus?
But it is spread fecally?

On the ninth day of #Christmas, my true love gave to me … a reason to dance for joy!

Donors with healthy #microbiomes have cured patients with a life-threatening bacterial infection known as #Cdiff through fecal microbiota transplants, which I describe in Chapter 3 of Flush. The transplant of gut #microbes is like reseeding a weedy garden with healthy plants to keep invasives out.

Thanks to stool banks & a new FDA-approved therapy, more patients are getting back out on the dance floor!

Anyone know why hashtags might not get indexed on Mastodon? And how to fix that? Eg I have a post from earlier today with the hashtag #cdiff, and if I click on it I get to https://fediscience.org/tags/cdiff
BUT my post isn't there.
The original post came from twitter, but boosting and editing on Mastodon didn't help...

FDA approves the first treatment for recurrent C. difficile infections made from bacteria from donor stools. Fecal transplants have been used for awhile. This would be a far easier approach. #Cdiff https://www.statnews.com/2022/11/30/fda-approves-first-microbiome-drug/
