- [1.13]
- Excess levels of iron and zinc seems to promote the colonization of pathogenic bacteria in the gut, such as Clostridium difficile. - [1.9]
- Schizophrenia and autism incidence has been found to be higher in the C. difficile diseased population.
- This association was further explained by a phenylalanine derivative synthesized and released by the same bacteria in the gut that is known to regulate catecholamine levels in the brain. - - Autism incidence has been found to be higher in the C. difficile diseased population.

- Weight loss was associated with impaired nutrient absorption and enrichment in Clostridioides difficile, which was consistent with a decrease in bile acids and was sufficient to replicate metabolic phenotypes in mice in a toxin-dependent manner. - [1.12]
- Odoribacteraceae > produces a bile acid called isoallolithocholic acid > inhibit the growth of Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) in a lab culture > preventing illness.
