Phylogenomic analysis of the collagen-like BclA proteins in <i>Clostridioides difficile</i>
2025-06-24
Abstract excerpt
Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium and a major nosocomial pathogen, notable for its high genetic diversity. C. difficile has been classified into five classical phylogenetic clades (C1 to C5) and five cryptic clades (C-I to C-V), reflecting its extensive genome plasticity. In addition, C. difficile spores are considered essential for the onset, persistence and transmi...
