CdtR-mediated regulation of toxin production in Clostridium difficile

Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of hospital-associated diarrhoea in the developed world. Its pathogenicity is elicited by the production of up to three toxins: the monoglucosyltransferases TcdA and TcdB, and the ADP-ribosyltransferase, CDT. This thesis describes the generation and charact...
