Inflammation is a crucial driver of host damage in patients with C. difficile colitis. We examined the potential for the intestinal microbiome to modify inflammation in patients with C. difficile colitis via the effects of gut-derived endotoxin on cytokine production. Endotoxin from E. coli and P. aeruginosa as well as stool-derived endotoxin was tested for their ability to enhance IL-1β and TNFα- production by toxin B-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Inflammasome and TLR-4 blocking studies were done to discern the impor
