Analyzing the phenotypic characteristics of environmental C. difficile isolates
(Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2022-02-18)Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is an anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium. Antibiotic use, hospitalization, advanced age, a compromised immune system, and previous infection puts individuals at an increased risk for ... -
Biochemical characterization of sporulation-related histidine kinases in Clostridioides difficile
(2022-05-13)Histidine kinases are one of the two proteins that constitute a two-component signal transduction system. These systems are used by bacteria, fungi, and several plants to sense the conditions of their environment and alter ... -
Characterization of a bacteriocin that targets Clostridioidies difficile
(Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2022-02-18)Clostridioides difficile is a bacterium of concern for anyone undergoing antibiotic treatment. C. difficile can resist most antibiotics and is currently only treated with Metronidazole and Vancomycin. Both antibiotics are ... -
Characterization of a Sporulation Related Two-Component Signaling System in Clostridioides difficile
(2023-12-15)Clostridioides difficile is a spore-forming anaerobic human pathogen, that is commonly associated with antibiotic therapy in adults. The disturbance of the gut microbiota, typically caused by antibiotics, allows for an ... -
Determinants of gene targeting and regulation by response regulators in Clostridioides difficile
(2018-12-14)Bacteria use two-component signal transduction systems to sense the conditions of the environment and adapt their behavior to ensure survival. The separate roles of signal perception and response output are carried out by ... -
Development of an orally administered nanoparticle vaccine to combat clostridioides difficile infections
(Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2023-02-17)Clostridioides difficile is a gram+, spore forming, toxin producing anaerobe that is found throughout the environment. C. difficile is the leading agent of hospital acquired infections. Symptoms of C. difficile infection ... -
Phenotypic characterization of environmental Clostridioides difficile isolates from wastewater and seafood in Taiwan
(2022-07)Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is a gram-positive, toxin-producing, spore-forming anaerobe, and leading cause of nosocomial antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). C. difficile is present worldwide and the disease ...
