Updates to Clostridium difficile Spore Germination

15 May 2018

Abstract excerpt

Germination of Clostridium difficile spores is a crucial early requirement for colonization of the gastrointestinal tract. Likewise, C. difficile cannot cause disease pathologies unless its spores germinate into metabolically active, toxin-producing cells.
