Diarrhea is a common disease of an intensive dairy cow farm, is frequently generated in calves, can cause massive dehydration of organisms and unbalanced water and salt metabolism, finally causes metabolic syndrome, and is an important factor affecting the health of calves, reducing the production efficiency and increasing the feeding cost (Ma et al 2020). Research shows that the detection rate of clostridium difficile in the intestinal tracts of diarrhea calves is between 10 and 40 percent, and some clostridium difficile can reach 60 percent, and the diarrhea calves are frequently born to 2 months of age. Clostridium difficile infection (Clostridiume difficile infection, CDI) is a multi-step, multi-stage process, affected by a number of factors, and the infected person may develop symptoms of severe diarrhea and even die. The use of broad-spectrum antibacterial agents inhibits or kills normal flora such as lactobacillus and bifidobacteria in the intestinal tract, causing dysbacteriosis in the intestinal tract, thereby weakening or losing antagonism to clostridium difficile, overgrowing clostridium difficile and releasing toxins, causing antibiotic-associated diarrhea (Antibiotic associated diarrhea, AAD) in animals, and causing death in severe cases.
Previous studies have shown that clostridium difficile infection has a correlation with microorganisms and metabolites in the gut, and at present, studies of other microorganisms interacting with clostridium difficile and the effect on clostridium difficile pathogenicity have been focused mainly on bacterial aspects, while less and less comprehensive studies are conducted from a fungal point of view.

The method is not suitable for obtaining colony concentration because no turbidity phenomenon of bacterial liquid is observed in the growth process of the A. Niger and the A. Prograners. In the actual culture process, the growth state of the strain can be judged according to the increase of the number of the A. Niger and A. Proliferrins meristematic bacteria balls.

(1) Clostridium difficile was co-cultivated with p.fermentum (1), with clostridium difficile amounts lower than in the 12, 36h co-cultivated group (P < 0.05) alone, with p.fermentum (2), and with clostridium difficile amounts lower than in the 36h co-cultivated group (P < 0.05) alone. (2) Clostridium difficile was co-cultivated with c.dublinensis, with no significant difference in clostridium difficile amounts (P > 0.05) in both treatment groups at each time point. (3) Clostridium difficile was co-cultivated with a. Niger, with a lower clostridium difficile amount in the 24h co-cultivated group than in the alone cultivated group (P < 0.01). (4) Clostridium difficile was co-cultured with a.prograns, with no significant difference in clostridium difficile amounts (P > 0.05) in the co-and individual culture groups at each time point. (5) Clostridium difficile was co-cultivated with c.tropicalis (1), with a lower clostridium difficile content in the 12h co-cultivated group than in the alone cultivated group (P < 0.05); co-cultivation with C.tropicalis (2) the amount of Clostridium difficile in the 12, 24h co-cultivated group was significantly lower than in the alone cultivated group (P < 0.01); co-cultivation with c.tropicalis (3), the clostridium difficile amount in the 12h co-cultivated group was significantly lower than in the alone cultivated group (P < 0.001); co-culture with C.tropicalis (4) there was no significant difference in Clostridium difficile amounts (P > 0.05) in the co-culture group versus the individual culture groups at each time point.
2.4 effects of Clostridium difficile Co-culture with C.tropicalis (3) on Clostridium difficile toxin-related Gene expression
The results of measuring the expression level of TcdA, tcdB, tcdC, tcdR gene at 5 time points in the two treatment groups are shown in FIG. 4. The relative expression quantity of TcdA in the two treatment groups is highest for 12h, and then gradually decreases; the relative expression of TcdA in 24-48h co-culture group was significantly higher than in Clostridium difficile group (P < 0.001). The relative expression of TcdB in both groups was also highest at 12h, then gradually decreased, and the relative expression of TcdB in the co-culture group at the time point of 12-48h was significantly higher than that in the Clostridium difficile group (P < 0.001). The relative expression quantity of TcdC in the two groups is high in 12h, and then gradually decreases, and the groups have no difference. The relative expression of TcdR in the two groups is highest in 12h, and then gradually decreases, and the relative expression of TcdR in the co-culture group is obviously higher than that of clostridium difficile group in 12, 36 and 48h (12 h, P <0.01;36, 48h, P < 0.05).
In this study, according to the growth curve of clostridium difficile measured in the early stage, clostridium difficile is in the growth plateau phase in 8-12h, the amount of the new bacteria is equal to the amount of dead bacteria, and the growth environment of clostridium difficile is limited, so that TcdA and TcdB genes are highly expressed from 12h in a clostridium difficile single culture group, and the mRNA expression amounts of TcdA and TcdB genes in a 12-48h co-culture group have a tendency to be higher than that of clostridium difficile single culture group or are extremely higher than that of clostridium difficile single culture group, which is probably related to competition of nutrient substances caused by Ct (3) and clostridium difficile. the tcdC gene is highly expressed in the early exponential phase and decreases with increasing growth phase. the tcdR gene is used as a positive regulatory gene of a toxin gene, has a trend or significance higher than that of clostridium difficile in a 12-48h co-culture group, and is consistent with the fact that the co-culture groups of TcdA and TcdB at corresponding time points are higher than that of the clostridium difficile.
The inhibition of clostridium difficile growth by tropicalis (3) was most pronounced. Co-cultivation of Clostridium difficile with C.tropilis (3) promotes expression of the Clostridium difficile toxin gene.

2. Test results
2.1 non-contact Co-culture OD 600 Value measurement results
Non-contact culture experiments using Transwell chambers, it was first observed that BHI solution was clear and transparent in the chambers of clostridium difficile individual culture groups at each time point (as shown in fig. 5A), indicating that clostridium difficile solution in the upper chamber did not permeate the lower chamber; OD is performed 600 Value determination (as shown in FIG. 5B), it was found that at each time point the BHI solution OD in the lower chamber of Clostridium difficile individual culture group 600 The values are about 0.1, and are the same as the OD of the negative control group 600 The values are almost identical; by culturing Clostridium difficile alone in group B in the lower chamberHI solution coated CCFA plates showed little clostridium difficile growth, and therefore, it is feasible to use a Transwell chamber for non-contact culture experiments.
Clostridium difficile was subjected to in vitro non-contact co-culture with C.tropicalis (3) at each time point of 0, 12, 24, 36, 48h in two treatment groups OD 600 The result of the value measurement is shown in FIG. 5C. From OD 600 From the values, clostridium difficile and c.tropilis (3) performed well at each time point, conforming to the change in growth curve.
2.2 Effect of non-contact Co-cultivation on Clostridium difficile growth
Absolute quantitative detection of clostridium difficile in both treatment groups showed that clostridium difficile growth was not affected as seen from the results of figure 6.
2.3 Effect of non-contact Co-culture on clostridium difficile toxin-associated Gene expression
The results of measurement of the expression of TcdA, tcdB, tcdC, tcdR gene at 5 time points in the two treatment groups are shown in FIG. 7. The relative expression quantity of TcdA in the two treatment groups is highest for 12h, and then gradually decreases; the relative expression amount of TcdA in the 24-48h co-culture group is obviously lower than that of clostridium difficile group. The relative expression quantity of TcdB in the two groups is the highest in 12h, and gradually decreases after 12h, and the relative expression quantity of TcdB in the co-culture group at the time point of 12-48h is obviously lower than that of the clostridium difficile group. The relative expression quantity of the TcdC in the two groups is high in 12h and gradually decreases after 12h, and the relative expression quantity of the TcdC in the 24-48h co-culture group is obviously lower than that of the clostridium difficile group. The relative expression quantity of TcdR in the two groups is highest in 12h, and gradually decreases after 12-48h, and the relative expression quantity of TcdR in the co-culture group is obviously lower than that of clostridium difficile group.
2.4 Effect of non-contact Co-cultivation on the ability of Clostridium difficile to move
The semi-solid puncture assay was performed on clostridium difficile motility in clostridium difficile groups, clostridium difficile and c.tropicalis (3) non-contact co-culture groups, and the results are shown in fig. 8. A decrease in the ability of Clostridium difficile to exercise was observed in the 24h co-culture group, followed by a gradual recovery.
2.5 Effect of non-contact Co-cultivation on the biofilm Forming Capacity of Clostridium difficile
For clostridium difficile group and clostridium difficileThe expression condition of a regulatory gene Cwp84 gene formed by a biological film in a non-contact co-culture group of bacteria and C.tropicalis (3) is detected, the expression capability of the gene in the co-culture group of 24h and 48h is reduced, a clostridium difficile biological film is dyed by a crystal violet dyeing method, and the OD (optical density) of the clostridium difficile biological film is measured 570 The biofilm forming ability of clostridium difficile was observed to be significantly higher in the 48h co-culture group than in the culture group alone. The results are shown in FIG. 9.
The influence of C.tropicalis (3) metabolites on clostridium difficile is mainly observed by non-contact co-culture, the inhibition effect of C.tropicalis (3) on clostridium difficile growth is disappeared after non-contact co-culture, analysis is performed from the aspect that fungi influence clostridium difficile, and the effect is possible because certain metabolites of fungi are available for clostridium difficile growth, so clostridium difficile growth is not inhibited, and the increase of clostridium difficile toxin gene expression caused by nutrition competition can be relieved; it is also possible that the expression of clostridium difficile toxin genes may be regulated by certain metabolites of the fungus, such that the co-cultivated group toxin gene expression is significantly lower than that of clostridium difficile alone. Analysis was performed from the standpoint of clostridium difficile affecting fungi, probably because metabolites produced by clostridium difficile have an inhibitory effect on fungal growth, fungi are growth-restricted, clostridium difficile can utilize more nutrients, and therefore no growth inhibition occurs. Clostridium difficile requires movement to the site of colonization by flagella and adhesion to host cells by secretion of adhesins, so that a strong motility is an important part of the pathogenic process of clostridium difficile, and our results have been observed to reduce the motility of clostridium difficile at 24h by non-contact co-cultivation with c.tropicalis (3), which may be a result of affecting flagella-related genes. The biofilm as a "reservoir" of clostridium difficile plays an important role in the persistent, recurrent process of clostridium difficile infection, and we detected that co-culture can reduce the expression of the regulatory gene Cwp84 of the biofilm, but no consistent result was observed by a crystal violet staining method, indicating that the analysis of co-culture from the Cwp84 gene level alone is not comprehensive in the effect on the biofilm.
The results of this study show that candida tropicalis affects clostridium difficile growth and virulence in vitro, indicating that the candida tropicalis may have potential effects of preventing and treating CDI, but specific effects and interaction mechanisms need to be further explored through in vivo experiments.
Clostridium difficile and c.tropicalis (3) are subjected to in vitro non-contact co-culture, so that the inhibition effect of c.tropicalis (3) on clostridium difficile in vitro growth is eliminated, and the expression of clostridium difficile toxin protein genes tcdA and tcdB can be reduced, and the motility of clostridium difficile can be slowed down, so that c.tropicalis (3) has the potential effect of reducing the pathogenicity of clostridium difficile.
