Phase-variable expression of pdcB, a phosphodiesterase, influences sporulation in Clostridioides difficile.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 2021

Dhungel Babita Adhikari, Govind Revathi

Abstract excerpt

Clostridioides difficile is the causative agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and is the leading cause of nosocomial infection in developed countries. An increasing number of C. difficile infections are attributed to epidemic strains that produce more toxins and spores. C. difficile spores are the major factor for the transmission and persistence of the organism. Previous studies have identified global...
