Structural and functional insight into the interaction of Clostridioides difficile toxin B and FZD7
Summary: The G protein-coupled receptors of the Frizzled (FZD) family, in particular FZD1,2,7, are receptors that are exploited by Clostridioides difficile toxin B (TcdB), the major virulence factor responsible for pathogenesis associated with ...

Emerging Diagnostics in Clostridioides difficile Infection
Clostridioides difficile detection in community settings is time-intensive, resulting in delays in diagnosing and quarantining infected individuals. However, with the advent of semi-automated devices and improved algorithms in recent decades, the ability to discern CDI infection from asymptomatic carriage has significantly improved.

Role of the gut microbiota in Clostridioides difficile Infection
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is caused by the anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium C. difficile. In the US there are approximately 500,000 cases of CDI a year and 15,000 deaths. In Scotland, from 2011-2020 there were 60-209 deaths per annum in which CDI was listed as a contributory factor in the death.
