The Stickland Reaction Precursor trans-4-Hydroxy-l-Proline Differentially Impacts the Metabolism of Clostridioides difficile and Commensal Clostridia
MSPHERE, 7(2).
author keywords: Clostridioides difficile; hydroxyproline; amino acids; Clostridia; Stickland reaction; colonization resistance; Stickland fermentation
MeSH headings : Animals; Clostridioides; Clostridioides difficile / genetics; Clostridium; Clostridium Infections / metabolism; Hydroxyproline / chemistry; Hydroxyproline / metabolism; Mice; Peptide Hydrolases; Proline / metabolism
TL;DR:
A C. difficile ΔhypD mutant mutant was constructed and found that it was modestly impaired in fitness in a mouse model of infection, and was associated with an altered microbiota when compared to mice challenged with the wild-type strain.

Human fecal metabolomic profiling could inform Clostridioides difficile infection diagnosis and treatment
Theriot, C. M., & Fletcher, J. R. (2019, September 3). JOURNAL OF CLINICAL INVESTIGATION, Vol. 129, pp. 3539–3541.
MeSH headings : Clostridioides difficile; Clostridium Infections; Diarrhea; Feces; Humans; Microbiota
TL;DR:
A logistic regression model based on the fecal metabolome is used and a metabolic definition of human C. difficile infection is constructed, which could improve diagnostic accuracy and aid in the development of targeted therapeutics against this pathogen.

Shifts in the Gut Metabolome and Clostridium difficile Transcriptome throughout Colonization and Infection in a Mouse Model
MSPHERE, 3(2).
Contributors: n, S. Erwin n , C. Lanzas n & C. Theriot n
author keywords: Clostridium difficile; amino acids; intestinal colonization; metabolomics; peptides; transcriptomics
MeSH headings : Amino Acids, Branched-Chain / metabolism; Animals; Anti-Bacterial Agents / administration & dosage; Carbohydrate Metabolism; Cecum / microbiology; Clostridioides difficile / metabolism; Clostridium Infections / metabolism; Clostridium Infections / microbiology; Female; Gastrointestinal Microbiome; Gene Expression Profiling; Male; Mass Spectrometry; Metabolome; Metabolomics; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Peptide Hydrolases / genetics; Proline / metabolism; Sequence Analysis, RNA; Transcriptome
TL;DR:
The gut environment after antibiotics and during the initial stages of C. difficile colonization and infection is defined and amino acids, in particular, proline and branched-chain amino acids and carbohydrates decrease in abundance over time and that C.difficile gene expression is consistent with their utilization in vivo.
