C. diff is a bacterium that causes diarrhea, often with severe or even fatal consequences. As part of its growth cycle, C. diff produces two toxins which cause inflammation and damage the lining of ...
Matthew Munneke, left, and Eric Skaar, PhD, MPH, use anaerobic chambers to study bacteria like C. diff that die in the presence of oxygen. The pathogen C. diff — the most common cause of health ...
