This is the first study to demonstrate in humans the relationships between Clostridioides difficile antibiotic treatment choice and bile acid metabolism both during therapy and after treatment cessation. The results show a microbiota- and metabolome-preserving property of a novel narrow-spectrum agent that correlates with the agent’s favorable sustained clinical response rates compared with broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment.
