Transcriptional analysis of temporal gene expression in germinating Clostridium difficile 630 endospores. [PDF]

, 2013
Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of hospital acquired diarrhoea in industrialised countries. Under conditions that are not favourable for growth, the pathogen produces metabolically dormant endospores via asymmetric cell division.

Serotyping of Clostridium difficile [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1988
A total of 246 live Clostridium difficile cultures were serotyped by a slide agglutination technique. Fifteen grouping antisera were produced which serotyped 98% of the cultures (241 of 246). Our results indicated that certain serogroups may have specific pathogenicity.
