In Pursuit of Protein Targets: Proteomic Characterization of Bacterial Spore Outer Layers
2 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
Bacillus cereus, responsible for food poisoning, and Clostridium difficile, the causative agent of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), are both spore-forming pathogens involved in food spoilage, food intoxication, and other infections in humans and animals. The proteinaceous coat and the exosporium layers from spores are important for their resistance and pathogenicity characteristics. The...
