The Proton Pump Inhibitor Omeprazole Does Not Promote <named-content content-type="genus-species">Clostridioides difficile</named-content> Colonization in a Murine Model
ABSTRACT Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use has been associated with microbiota alterations and susceptibility to Clostridioides difficile infections (CDIs) in humans. We assessed how PPI treatment alters the fecal microbiota and whether treatment promotes CDIs in a mouse model. Mice receiving a PPI tr...
