Abstract

AREAS COVERED: We searched PubMed and Web of Science databases for articles identifying novel therapeutic targets or treatments for

EXPERT OPINION: Considerable progress has been made in the development of new anti-CDI drug candidates. Nevertheless, a greater comprehension of CDI pathogenesis and host-microbe interactions is beginning to uncover potential novel therapeutic targets, which can be exploited to plug gaps in the CDI drug discovery pipeline.
