The neutralization activity of dioctahedral smectite for ten toxigenic Clostridium difficile and eight enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis strains was studied using McCoy and HT 29/C1 cell lines, respectively. Minimalization of the cytopathic effect of C. difficile toxin B on McCoy cell lines by dioctahedral smectite dissolved in PBS was observed. After incubation with dioctahedral smectite the toxic effects of B. fragilis enterotoxins on HT/29C1 (human colon adenocarcinoma cell line) were eliminated. Best neutralization of B. fragilis toxin was achieved using dioctahedral smectite dissolved in BHI.
