Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Clostridium difficile causes antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis, diseases afflicting millions of people each year. Although C. difficile releases 2 structurally similar exotoxins, toxin A and toxin B, animal experiments suggest that only toxin A mediates diarrhea and enterocolitis. However, toxin A-negative/toxin B-positive strains of C. difficile recently were isolated...
