Researchers from the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI) have discovered an antibiotic that could prevent the life-threatening diarrhoea caused by Clostridioides difficile - a serious bacterial infection often acquired while in hospital.

The research, co-led by Professor Dena Lyras and Dr Sheena McGowan, was published today in Nature Microbiology
