Whole-genome analysis of sporulation and germination in Clostridium difficile

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive, obligate anaerobe and a leading cause of hospital-acquired diarrhoea in humans. Under conditions that are not favourable for growth, C. difficile triggers sporulation, producing metabolically dormant endospores through asymmetric cell division. These are regarded as the principal infective stage in the C. difficile life cycle, but must germinate to allow for vegetative cel...
