Variant forms of the binary toxin CDT locus and tcdC gene in Clostridium difficile strains.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 Mar 2007

Stare Barbara Geric, Delmée Michel, Rupnik Maja

Abstract excerpt

Variability in the genes for toxin A, toxin B and other pathogenicity locus regions is well known and is the basis for the distribution of Clostridium difficile strains into variant toxinotypes. Previous data have indicated that some C. difficile strains have a non-functional truncated form of the binary toxin (CDT) locus. This study analysed variability in the CDT locus and the presence of deleted tcdC genes in...
