Dilution as a Solution: Targeting Microbial Populations with a Simplified Dilution Strategy
ABSTRACT The gut microbiota is an integral part of maintaining resistance against infection by Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile, a pathogen of increasing concern in both health care and community settings. The recent article by J. M. Auchtung, E. C. Preisner, J. Collins, A. I. Lerma, and R. A....
