Characterization of Clostridium difficile Spores Lacking Either SpoVAC or Dipicolinic Acid Synthetase.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jun 2016

Donnelly M Lauren, Fimlaid Kelly A, Shen Aimee

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: The spore-forming obligate anaerobe Clostridium difficile is a leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea around the world. In order for C. difficile to cause infection, its metabolically dormant spores must germinate in the gastrointestinal tract. During germination, spores degrade their protective cortex peptidoglycan layers, release dipicolinic acid (DPA), and hydrate their cores. In C....
