title: The Bug Stops Here: Innate Lymphoid Cells in Clostridium difficile Infection.
abstract: The contribution of the innate immune response to the resolution of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) remains incompletely defined. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Abt et al. demonstrated that innate lymphoid cells and the effector cytokine IFN-γ are important for recovery from the acute phase of CDI.
