Mechanisms of Action: Physiological EffectsAntibiotic-Induced Dysbiosis Predicts Mortality in an Animal Model of Clostridium difficile InfectionAntibiotic disruption of the intestinal microbiota favors colonization by Clostridium difficile. Using a charcoal-based adsorbent to decrease intestinal antibiotic concentrations, we studied the relationship between antibiotic concentrations in feces and the intensity of dysbiosis and quantified the link between this intensity and mortality.
