Clostridium difficile flagella induce a pro-inflammatory response in intestinal epithelium of mice in cooperation with toxins
Abstract Clostridium difficile is the most important enteropathogen involved in gut nosocomial post-antibiotic infections. The emergence of hypervirulent strains has contributed to increased mortality and morbidity of CDI. The C. difficile toxins contribute directly to CDI-associated lesions of the...

Abstract Clostridium difficile is the most important enteropathogen involved in gut nosocomial post-antibiotic infections.
