Plasmids of Clostridioides difficile
Current 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

Clostridioides difficile [PDF]
Trends 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.

Iron Regulation in Clostridioides difficile [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The response to iron limitation of several bacteria is regulated by the ferric uptake regulator (Fur). The Fur-regulated transcriptional, translational and metabolic networks of the Gram-positive, pathogen Clostridioides difficile were investigated by a combined RNA sequencing, proteomic, metabolomic and electron microscopy approach.
