This benefit is about preventing Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) by restoring gut microbiota, especially when antibiotics are used. It prevents C. difficile overgrowth, leading to reduced risk of infection.
The benefit involves preventing Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) by restoring the gut microbiota and preventing the overgrowth of C. difficile. This is particularly effective when used in conjunction with antibiotics, as antibiotics can disrupt the natural gut flora, creating an environment conducive to C. difficile proliferation. A balanced gut microbiome is crucial for preventing CDI, as beneficial bacteria compete with C. difficile for resources and produce substances that inhibit its growth.
