The Second Messenger Cyclic Di-GMP Regulates Clostridium difficile Toxin Production by Controlling Expression of <i>sigD</i>
14 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
The Gram-positive obligate anaerobe Clostridium difficile causes potentially fatal intestinal diseases. How this organism regulates virulence gene expression is poorly understood. In many bacterial species, the second messenger cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) negatively regulates flagellar motility and, in some cases, virulence. c-di-GMP was previously shown to repress motility of C. difficile. Recent evidence indicates...
