Defense Mechanism

Circumstances influence and compel people to behave in a certain way. One such behavior is a defense mechanism. It is employed by people to escape from unpleasant circumstances, thoughts and actions. Defense mechanisms are, thus, psychological strategies that help to avert and avoid unwanted feelings such as guilt or shame and situations such as threat and danger.

Clostridium difficile infection is the leading causeof hospital-associated gastrointestinal illness. It is typicallytreated with a course of antibiotics, but the infection recursin about 20% of cases.

Fecal microbiota transplantation—thetransfer of normal gut microbiota from a healthy individ-ual—can resolve >90% of recurrent infections, a much bet-ter cure rate than further antibiotic treatment alone.
