Clostridioides difficile [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Microbiology, 2018
Clostridioides difficile is a spore-forming, anaerobic, intestinal pathogen that causes severe diarrhea that can lead to death. In 2011, C. difficile infected ∼500000 people in the USA and killed ∼29000 people. C. difficile infection (CDI) is the most common healthcare-related infection in the USA, leading to increased healthcare costs of $4.8 billion.

Plasmids of Clostridioides difficile

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Microbiology, 2022
Plasmids are ubiquitous in the bacterial world. In many microorganisms, plasmids have been implicated in important aspects of bacterial physiology and contribute to horizontal gene transfer. In contrast, knowledge on plasmids of the enteropathogen Clostridioides difficile is limited, and there appears to be no phenotypic consequence to carriage of many
