Abstract excerpt

An increased incidence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is associated with the emergence of epidemic strains characterized by high genetic diversity. Among the factors that may have a role in CDI is a family of 29 paralogues, the cell-wall proteins (CWPs), which compose the outer layer of the bacterial cell and are likely to be involved in colonization. Previous studies have shown that 12 of the 29 cwp...
