Assessing the regulation of Clostridium difficile transferase (CDT), is complicated by the presence of a Pathogenicity locus (PaLoc) which encodes Toxins A and B. Here we developed R20291ΔPaLoc model strains and cell-based assays to quantify CDT-mediated virulence. Their application demonstrated that the transcriptional regulator, CdtR, was required for CDT-mediated cytotoxicity.
由于存在编码毒素A和毒素B的致病位点(PaLoc),评估艰难梭菌转移酶(CDT)的调控变得复杂。在此,我们构建了R20291ΔPaLoc模型菌株和基于细胞的检测方法来量化CDT介导的毒力。它们的应用表明,转录调节因子CdtR是CDT介导的细胞毒性所必需的。
