Abstract
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is associated with dysbiosis and a higher risk of complications in patients with ulcerative colitis. This study reveals a possible association between CDI, dysbiosis, suppression of methionine synthesis, and increased risk of surgery in Crohn’s disease.Keywords
