Gastrointestinal infections from Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) affect about 500,000 people in the U.S. a year, 20,000 of which die. Now, a new study performed in mice may have found a solution for the condition.
Even though you can't see them, your home is full of microscopic germs that can make your family or visitors sick. "Even the cleanest home has bacteria and viruses," says Ernesto Abel-Santos, a professor of biochemistry at the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó. "In fact, most have benefits for us."
51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó researchers are part of a team that will receive nearly $3 million in federal funding for a project focusing on the nuclear energy workforce.
