Network analysis of toxin production in Clostridioides difficile identifies key metabolic dependencies
Clostridioides difficile pathogenesis is mediated through its two toxin proteins, TcdA and TcdB, which induce intestinal epithelial cell death and inflammation. It is possible to alter C. difficile toxin production by changing various metabolite concentrations within the extracellular environment. H...
