Monaghan, T. M., Negm, O. H., MacKenzie, B., Hamed, M. R., Shone, C. C., Humphreys, D., …Wilcox, M. H. (2017). High prevalence of subclass-specific binding and neutralizing antibodies against Clostridium difficile toxins in adult cystic fibrosis sera: possible mode of immunoprotection against symptomatic C. difficile infection. Clinical and Experimental Gastroenterology, 10, https://doi.org/10.2147/CEG.S133939

Objectives: Despite multiple risk factors and a high rate of colonization for Clostridium difficile, the occurrence of C. difficile infection in patients with cystic fibrosis is rare. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of binding C....
