Diverse Temperate Bacteriophage Carriage in Clostridium difficile 027 Strains

18 May 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The hypervirulent Clostridium difficile ribotype 027 can be classified into subtypes, but it unknown if these differ in terms of severity of C. difficile infection (CDI). Genomic studies of C. difficile 027 strains have established that they are rich in mobile genetic elements including prophages. This study combined physiological studies, electron microscopy analysis and molecular biology to...
