Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: The anaerobe Clostridium difficile is a common pathogen that causes infection of the colon leading to diarrhea or pseudomembranous colitis. Its major virulence factors are toxin A (TcdA) and toxin B (TcdB), which specifically inactivate small GTPases by glucosylation leading to reorganization of the cytoskeleton and finally to cell death. In the present work a quantitative proteome analysis using the...
