Identification and characterization of a gene cluster required for proper rod shape, cell division, and pathogenesis in Clostridium difficile.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jun 2014

Ransom Eric M, Williams Kyle B, Weiss David S, Ellermeier Craig D

Abstract excerpt

Little is known about cell division in Clostridium difficile, a strict anaerobe that causes serious diarrheal diseases in people whose normal intestinal microbiome has been perturbed by treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics. Here we identify and characterize a gene cluster encoding three cell division proteins found only in C. difficile and a small number of closely related bacteria. These proteins were named...
