Research

Mayo Clinic researchers are involved in studies evaluating the epidemiology, risk factors and treatment of C. difficile infection. Studies are ongoing to characterize the fecal microbial composition in the colon to develop tools that can predict response to treatment and the risk of recurrent infection.

The Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Mayo Clinic has clinics dedicated to researching and treating C. difficile infection, including studies of the gut microflora and new therapies for C. difficile infection. The Microbiome Program at Mayo Clinic is studying how natural variation in individual gut microbiomes relates to clinical risk factors and susceptibility to C. difficile infection.

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
