Mice colonized with the defined microbial community OMM19.1 are susceptible to Clostridioides difficile infection without prior antibiotic treatment
ABSTRACT Diverse gut microorganisms present in humans and mice are essential for the prevention of microbial pathogen colonization.However, antibiotic-induced dysbiosis of the gut microbiome reduces microbial diversity and allows Clostridioides difficile (C.difficile) to colonize the intestine.The Oligo-Mouse-Microbiota 19.1 (OMM19.1) is a syntheti
