Defining the order of assembly of the <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> divisome complex

2026-01-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cell division is the ancient pathway by which bacteria synthesize a septum of peptidoglycan, dividing the cell into two. Where all walled bacteria were previously thought to use FtsW-FtsI orthologs to synthesize septal peptidoglycan during division, we recently discovered that the major pathogen Clostridioides difficile is missing FtsW-FtsI and instead relies on the activity of the bifunctional...
