... Clostridium difficile: Causes pseudomembrane colitis (antibiotic associated). A course of broad spectrum antibiotics destroys the normal colonic flora allowing over growth of Clostridium difficile. It then releases exotoxins A (causes diarrhea) + B (cytotoxic to colonic mucosal cells). Colonoscopy ...

E.coli and Bacteriophage T4 - Concordia University of Edmonton
... Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and reproduce within bacteria. Lytic bacteriophages kill the bacteria that they infect, therefore it is possible that phages could be used to combat antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria by preventing further growth. The concept of using phages to prevent ba ...

Pathogenic Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli (/ˌɛʃəˈrɪkiə ˈkoʊlɪ/ Anglicized to /ˌɛʃəˈrɪkiə ˈkoʊlaɪ/; commonly abbreviated E. coli) is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms (endotherms). Most E. coli strains are harmless, but some serotypes are pathogenic and can cause serious food poisoning in humans, and are occasionally responsible for product recalls. The harmless strains are part of the normal flora of the gut, and can benefit their hosts by producing vitamin K2, and by preventing the establishment of pathogenic bacteria within the intestine.
