Production of a complete binary toxin (actin-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase) by Clostridium difficile CD196
1 Apr 1997
Abstract excerpt
A Clostridium difficile isolate was found to produce an actin-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase (CDT) homologous to the enzymatic components of Clostridium perfringens iota toxin and Clostridium spiroforme toxin (M.
