Conflict of Interest

Microbes that Matter: defining optimal formulations for Microbial Ecosystem Therapeutics
C. difficile infection (CDI) causes 14,000 deaths a year, and over $1 billion is spent on the extended hospitalization and treatment of complications related to CDI. Clostridium difficile is considered an 'urgent threat' pathogen by the CDC and new, more effective treatments are urgently needed. Using a novel approach that is fundamentally different from antibiotics and from existing stool transplant approaches to treat CDI, this application proposes to develop defined bacterial communities as therapeutics to treat CDI, using novel strategies of rational design based on microbial ecosystem function.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.
Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.
