Gastric acid suppressing medications have been associated with an increased risk of Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) infection, hypothesized to be due to underlying intestinal microbiome changes. Our goal is to characterize these changes in children as their microbiome is undergoing critical development. Our study included 5 children (< 3 years old) who were started on clinically indicated gastric acid suppression and 15 healthy age-matched controls. Stool samples were collected before and after 2 months of treatment. We analyzed the microbiome using 16S rRNA sequencing. Quantitative-PCR was used to detect C. difficile toxins. Subjects and controls had similar alpha and beta diversity. We found no significant change in alpha or beta diversity of subjects after treatment. C. difficile toxins were not found and there was no increase in C. difficile carriage after treatment. A significant increase in Lactobacillus was found after treatment, which has been associated with C. difficile in adults.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
