Abstract Secretory IgA (SIgA) is critical for maintaining the intestinal barrier. A dysregulated B-cell compartment and altered Ig secretion have been well documented in Crohn’s disease (CD) patients, although their origin is unknown.
The prevalence of the baiCD gene cluster was significantly higher in C. difficile negative fecal samples than in samples of patients diagnosed with CDI (72.5% (100/138) vs. 35.9% (23/64; p<0.0001). No differences in baiCD gene cluster prevalence were seen between NC and NTCD or NC and TCD samples. Both rCDI patients were baiCD-negative at baseline, but one of the two patients turned positive after successful FMT from a baiCD-positive donor.
