Liberation of host heme by Clostridioides difficile- mediated damage enhances Enterococcus faecalis fitness during infection

Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Toxin production by Clostridioides difficile damages the colonic epithelium and leads to a robust inflammatory response. This disruption of the epithelial barrier markedly alters the nutritional landscape in the C. difficile- infected gut.
