Proton-pump inhibitors increase C. difficile infection risk by altering pH rather than by affecting the gut microbiome based on a bioreactor model

Clostridioides difficile infections often occur after antibiotic use, but they have also been linked to proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. The underlying mechanism – whether infection risk is due to a direct effect of PPIs on the gut microbiome or changes in gastrointestinal pH – has remained uncl...
