Use of an in-vitro polarized cell culture model to study the translocation of Clostridium difficile toxins
Clostridium difficile is the etiologic agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhea; the most common form of nosocomial infectious diarrhea. C. difficile produces two large molecular weight protein exotoxins; toxins A and B. In this study, a polarized tissue culture model employing Caco-2 cells grown on...
