Ever wondered why proton pump inhibitors raise the risk of C. diff infections? Is it due to pH shifts or direct antibacterial effects on the gut microbiome? We think it’s the pH. 🧪💡 Dive into Julia & Patrick’s new paper for the full story! 📖👇 #Microbiome #PPI doi.org/10.1080/1949...

The study was published in the journal @cp-cellreports.bsky.social‬: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
