The Transcriptional Regulator Lrp Contributes to Toxin Expression, Sporulation, and Swimming Motility in Clostridium difficile
Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium, and major cause of nosocomial diarrhea.Related studies have identified numerous factors that influence virulence traits such as the production of the two primary toxins, toxin A (TcdA) and toxin B (TcdB), as well as sporulation, motility, and biofilm formation.However, multiple puta
