Protective Effect of Pediococcus pentosaceus LI05 Against Clostridium difficile Infection in a Mouse Model.

abstract：:While modern developments in agriculture have allowed for increases in crop yields and rapid human population growth, they have also drastically altered biogeochemical cycles, including the biotransformation of nitrogen. Denitrification is a critical process performed by bacteria and fungi that removes nitrate in surf...
