This study characterizes the sporulation and germination of Turicibacter sanguinis, revealing unique spore architecture and regulatory mechanisms distinct from Bacilli and Clostridia.

This study analyzes the conservation and variability of BclA proteins across C. difficile clades using genomic data from over 25,000 genomes, revealing clade-specific differences in bclA gene presence and structure.

The paper isolates a hypersporulating C. difficile strain with enhanced sporulation efficiency and identifies genomic changes associated with this trait.

This study identifies two new classical clades and two new cryptic clades in C. difficile using whole-genome analysis of 25,144 genomes.
