    Abstract: A multilevel converter operating with fewer components saving costs, losses, size and weight, allowing the reduction of volume and accessibility to the control and transformation of electric power, comprising at least a basic cell formed by: a) a first power switch that interconnects the positive bus between said at least one basic cell and at least another basic cell connected in cascade each other and/or a basic cell and a continuous voltage source; b) a second power switch that interconnects the negative bus between said at least one basic cell and at least another basic cell connected in cascade each other; and/or a basic cell and the continuous voltage source of point a); and c) a capacitor with a third power switch, both of them being connected in series each other and interconnected between the positive and negative bus.

    Abstract: Recurrent C. difficile infections are the major cause of death due to C. difficile, which is the causative agent of approximately 20% of antibiotic-associated diarrheas. Conventional treatments for C. difficile infections are not capable of eliminating the rates of recurrence, which occurs in 20-30% of the cases and may be repetitive, the probability of death being greater in each cycle. Until now, the persistence mechanisms of C. difficile for producing recurrence conditions were unknown. In the present invention, we describe the mechanism by which C. difficile spores persist, and a method of treatment with a pharmacological composition based on an antibiotic and nystatin for preventing recurrent C. difficile infections. The route of administration of nystatin is also protected (i.e., oral, intraperitoneal).
