Clostridioides difficile Biology: Sporulation, Germination, and Corresponding Therapies for C. difficile Infection
Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, toxin-producing anaerobe, and an important nosocomial pathogen. Due to the strictly anaerobic nature of the vegetative form, spores are the main morphotype of infection and transmission of the disease. Spore formation and their subsequent g...
