The <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> S-Layer Protein A (SlpA) serves as a general phage receptor

2022-09-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Therapeutic bacteriophages (phages) are being considered as alternatives in the fight against Clostridioides difficile infections. To be efficient, phages should have a wide host range, but the lack of knowledge about the cell receptor used by C. difficile phages hampers the rational design of phage cocktails. Recent reports suggested that the C. difficile surface layer protein A (SlpA) is an...
