隐藏原文=

These days, antibiotics are no silver bullet.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

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

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Like the bug Clostridium difficile, or C.diff,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

which infects more than 300,000 Americans a year and kills some 14,000.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

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

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

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

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

That cocktail of microbes from a healthy person's gut can rein in a C.diff outbreak.

隐藏原文=

Well, one of them appears to be a bacterium called Clostridium scindens.

隐藏原文=

Because in past studies, people and mice that harbored C.scindens were protected against a full-blown C.diff infection.

隐藏原文=

So researchers dosed mice with the good guy, C.scindens, after a bout of antibiotics.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And the treatment did indeed ward off C.diff, compared to a cocktail of other microbes, or nothing at all.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The findings are in the journal Nature.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

This work could lead to more targeted probiotic treatments.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

But study author Eric Pamer of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center says it's worth remembering that when it comes to microbes, the sum is often greater than its parts.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

"In some ways I would say this is far more complex than an orchestra, in that there are many more interdependencies,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

and many of which we just don't understand yet, but that are starting to be illuminated by ongoing work."

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Now, at least, we know one of the featured performers.

隐藏原文=

Thanks for the minute, for Scientific American's 60-Second Science. I'm Christopher Intagliata.
