Characterization of Clostridium difficile Spores Lacking Either SpoVAC or Dipicolinic Acid Synthetase
The spore-forming obligate anaerobe Clostridium difficile is a leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea around the world. In order for C. difficile to cause infection, its metabolically dormant spores must germinate in the gastrointestinal tract. During germination, spores degrade their prote...
