Clostridioides difficile bile salt hydrolase activity has substrate specificity and affects biofilm formation

A. Martinez Aguirre, J. A. Sorg

This paper identifies bile salt hydrolase activity in C. difficile that specifically targets taurine-derived bile salts and influences biofilm formation through interactions with C. scindens.

The selenophosphate synthetase, selD, is important for Clostridioides difficile physiology

K. McAllister, A. Martinez Aguirre, J. A. Sorg

This study shows that the selD gene, which encodes selenophosphate synthetase, is crucial for Clostridioides difficile physiology, affecting growth, sporulation, and post-germination outgrowth.
