The Stickland fermentation precursor trans-4-hydroxyproline differentially impacts the metabolism of <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> and commensal <i>Clostridia</i>
2021-11-13
Abstract excerpt
An intact gut microbiota confers colonization resistance against Clostridioides difficile through a variety of mechanisms, likely including competition for nutrients. Recently, proline was identified as an important environmental amino acid that C. difficile uses to support growth and cause significant disease. A post-translationally modified form, trans-4-hydroxyproline, is highly abundant in collagen, which is...
