Para-cresol production by Clostridium difficile affects microbial diversity and membrane integrity of Gram-negative bacteria
(2018-09-12)Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive spore-forming anaerobe and a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Disruption of the commensal microbiota, such as through treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, is a ... -
A paradigm shift in enteric coating : achieving rapid release in the proximal small intestine of man
(2010)The in vivo performance of a novel enteric double-coating technology designed to accelerate release in the proximal small intestine of humans was investigated. Tablet cores were coated with a double layer formulation ... -
