Type I toxin-antitoxin systems contribute to mobile genetic elements maintenance in <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> and can be used as a counter-selectable marker for chromosomal manipulation

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are widespread on mobile genetic elements as well as in bacterial chromosomes. According to the nature of the antitoxin and its mode of action for toxin inhibition, TA systems are subdivided into different types. The first type I TA modules were recently identified in the human enteropathogen Clostridioides (formerly Clostridium ) difficile . In type I TA, synthes...
