Sporulation and Germination in Clostridial Pathogens
26 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT As obligate anaerobes, clostridial pathogens depend on their metabolically dormant, oxygen-tolerant spore form to transmit disease. However, the molecular mechanisms by which those spores germinate to initiate infection and then form new spores to transmit infection remain poorly understood.
