This study is looking at people who were treated for C. diff (a serious gut infection) at Umeå University Hospital to see how they are doing years later. It compares people who got a fecal transplant (a treatment that restores healthy gut bacteria) with those who only took antibiotics.
This trial compares three treatments for a severe diarrhea infection called C. diff: a fecal transplant (putting healthy donor stool into your gut), a newer antibiotic called fidaxomicin, and an older antibiotic called vancomycin. The goal is to see which works best and prevents the infection from coming back.
This trial tests whether giving a stool transplant (also called FMT) can treat a new, early C. difficile infection in people who have improved while on antibiotics. It may help some people prevent the infection from coming back or worsening.
This study tests whether taking a capsule form of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can help adults with their first C. difficile infection—or a first relapse—get better and reduce repeat episodes. Participants also take specific antibiotics for C. difficile as part of the study process.
This trial tests an experimental treatment called CMTS0929 for people with a C. difficile infection that is causing diarrhea. The treatment is given through a tube placed through the nostril or mouth into the intestine, and the study will see if it is safe and helpful.
This study tests whether specific lifestyle changes during treatment for C. difficile infection (a serious gut bacteria infection) can help prevent it from coming back. You'll receive standard antibiotic treatment and follow a controlled diet while researchers track your recovery.
