Clostridium difficile has emerged as a noteworthy pathogen in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Saleh et al. (2019) demonstrate that Th17 responses induced by acute colitis contribute to increased disease severity during subsequent C. difficile infection.
