Preservation of gut microbiome following ridinilazole versus fidaxomicin treatment of Clostridium difficile infection

Background: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a major cause of nosocomial diarrhoea associated with antimicrobial-mediated dysbiosis. Dysbiosis may be perpetuated by antibiotic (AB) CDI therapy, leading to recurrent CDI. Ridinilazole (RIDI) has very narrow activity against certain clostridia. We measured faecal microbiomes of Phase 2 subjects randomised to 10 days of RIDI or fidaxomicin (FDX) for CDI.
Methods: Faecal samples (27 patients) were obtained at study entry (DM1-D1), Day 2 (D2-D3), Day 5 (D4-5), Day 7 (D5-7), Day 10 (D9-10), Day 12 (D11-14), Day 25 (D15-25), D30 (D25-30), Day 40 (D40+) and grouped according to blinded treatment (Drug A or B). DNA was extracted using the QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit (Qiagen), and 16S V4 PCR products sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq�. Samples were analysed as a full dataset (n=154) and as subgroups: no concomitant (con)AB or prior CDI AB (n=67); no conAB but prior CDI AB (n=44); total no conAB (n=111). Data were quality controlled and annotated (QIIME, Usearch, Greengenes, PyNAST, RDP). OTU files were imported in MEGAN for further analyses.
Results: Comparable sustained clinical response rates to 30 days post end of therapy were seen with RIDI (50%) compared to FDX (46.2%); estimated treatment difference 2.9% (95% CI -30.8, 36.7). Following unblinding (drug A=RIDI, drug B=FDX), Simpsons diversity indices showed marked microbiome differences at family level for RIDI vs FDX subjects in multiple analyses. This was most marked for no conAB or prior CD AB and total no conAB subjects, in whom RIDI microbiome diversity was markedly greater (approaching significance) during CDI treatment and significantly greater at D11-D14 and D4-5, D6-8, respectively (p<0.05) (Figure). In particular, Bifidobacteriaceae and Ruminococcaceae populations, previously linked to colonisation resistance, were more stable during RIDI treatment.
Conclusion: RIDI preserved gut microbiome diversity to a greater extent than FDX during CDI treatment. Differences were most marked for, but not restricted to, patients receiving no conAB. Microbiome sparing by RIDI is consistent with low CDI recurrence rates.
