This study investigates how flagellar and T4P gene mutants affect C. difficile's ability to adhere to mucosal surfaces and find that multiple factors influence mucosal adhesion.

The paper identifies mucinolysomes as multi-enzyme complexes in gut microbiomes, showing their presence across 65 genomes and higher prevalence in farm animals than humans.

This study shows that C. difficile colonization in an in vitro model is not dependent on bile salts but relies on proline fermentation via Stickland pathway, with context-dependent effects.
