A genetic switch controls the production of flagella and toxins in Clostridium difficile

27 Mar 2017

Abstract excerpt

In the human intestinal pathogen Clostridium difficile, flagella promote adherence to intestinal epithelial cells.Flagellar gene expression also indirectly impacts production of the glucosylating toxins, which are essential to diarrheal disease development.Thus, factors that regulate the expression of the flgB operon will likely impact toxin production in addition to flagellar motility.Here, we report the...
