Interestingly, in a small study on patients with AIDS, rifaximin was found to be effective against infectious diarrhea with stool cultures positive for protozoal pathogens, such as Cryptosporidium parvum and Blastocystis hominis [34], The favorable effects of rifaximin on protozoal diarrhea have been also reported in a recent multicenter study on patients with travelers diarrhea [33], In fact, patients with pretreatment stools positive for Cryptosporidium infections obtained a clinical improvement with rifaximin significantly superior to the placebo-treated subjects.

Blastocystis hominis is a unicellular anaerobic organism that inhabits the human intestinal tract, and whose metabolism and life cycle are not completely understood. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the SSU rRNA sequences (Silberman et al. 1996) and protein-coding sequences (Arisue et al. 2002c) show Blastocystis branching within stramenopiles (heterokonts), a group containing a vast diversity of photosynthetic and heterotrophic protists (Fig. 10.2).
