A rubrerythrin locus of <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> efficiently detoxifies reactive oxygen species

Abstract excerpt
As an intestinal human pathogen, Clostridioides difficile is the main cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Endospores of this gram-positive bacterium enter the intestinal tract via faecal-oral transmission, germinate into vegetative and toxin-producing cells and can trigger a Clostridioides difficile infection.
