DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5prsws/competitor) has announced the addition of the "Competitor Analysis: Clostridium Difficile Vaccines and Therapeutics" report to their offering.

Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) are a major public health concern. CDI are becoming increasingly prevalent in hospitals, long-term and primary-care facilities, primarily in patients whose normal intestinal flora have been compromised by antibiotic treatment. CDI primary virulence mechanismis the production of two toxins, TcdA and TcdB, which glucosylate Rho-family GTPases, disrupt the actin cytoskeleton, and causing cytotoxicity and inflammation.

The present Competitive Intelligence Report about prophylaxis and therapy of Clostridium difficile infections provides a competitor evaluation in the field of new molecules or microorganisms for prevention or treatment of Clostridium difficle infections as of January 2014. Purchase of the downloadable pdf report includes a 6-month online access to the data of the report and any updates since the publication date. Credentials to access the database will be sent by e-mail and allow online work with the project data to print or export an individual report.

The report includes a compilation of currently active projects in research and development of antibodies, proteins, peptides, vaccines, microorganisms and small molecules for prevention and treatment of Clostridium difficile infections. In addition, the report lists company-specific R&D pipelines of C. difficile vaccines and therapeutics. Competitor projects are listed in a tabular format providing information on:
