Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

These days, antibiotics are no silver bullet.

In fact, if you get them in the hospital, you may end up with an additional infection,

like the bug Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, which infects more than 300,000 Americans a year,

and kills some 14,000.

C. diff flourishes in the post-anibiotic, microbe-free landscape of your gut.

But there is a way to stop it, a fecal transplant.

That cocktail of microbes from a healthy person's gut can rain in a C-Diff outbreak.

The question is not, ew, it's what are the

transplant's active ingredients? Well, one of them appears to be a bacterium called Clostridium

cindins. Because in past studies, people and mice that harbored Csindins were protected against

a full-blown C-diff infection. So researchers dosed mice with the good guy, C-sindens were protected against a full-blown C-Diff infection. So researchers dosed mice with the good

guy, C-Sindens, after a bout of antibiotics. And the treatment did indeed ward off C-diff, compared to a

cocktail of other microbes or nothing at all. C-sindens makes a living by breaking down bile, the

researchers say, and it's those secondary products that seem to inhibit C-dyndins makes a living by breaking down bile, the researchers say, and it's those secondary

products that seem to inhibit C. diff. The findings are in the journal Nature. This work could
