Clostridium difficile cytopathic toxin was found in the faeces or gut content of five of 39 neonates with necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Toxin concentrations were uniformly low and did not differ from those found in healthy neonates. C difficile is unlikely to be involved in the pathogenesis of NEC. Stools from 33 babies with NEC were also tested for C perfringens alpha toxin, with negative results.
在39例患有坏死性小肠结肠炎(NEC)的新生儿中,有5例的粪便或肠道内容物中发现了艰难梭菌细胞病变毒素。毒素浓度均较低,与健康新生儿的毒素浓度无差异。艰难梭菌不太可能参与NEC的发病机制。对33例患有NEC的婴儿的粪便也进行了产气荚膜梭菌α毒素检测,结果为阴性。
