Identification and characterisation of tail components modulating host range of Clostridium difficile phages

Clostridium difficile is an anaerobic, spore-forming, pathogenic bacterium that is the leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. The infection is treatable with a few antibiotics, however, due to the ever-increasing rates of antibiotic resistance and risk of relapse, novel therapies are in d...
