Hospital-acquired infections: a key molecule that helps Clostridium difficile adapt to the gut environment
Hospital-acquired infections caused by Clostridioides difficile represent a major health threat. In a recently published study, scientists describe the molecular mechanisms that enable the bacteria to survive, adapt and develop in the gut. They demonstrate that the c-di-AMP molecule plays a central role in C. difficile's internal regulation mechanisms, promoting antimicrobial resistance.
