A Drosophila Model for Clostridium difficile Toxin CDT Reveals Interactions with Multiple Effector Pathways
Summary: Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) cause severe and occasionally life-threatening diarrhea. Hyper-virulent strains produce CDT, a toxin that ADP-ribosylates actin monomers and inhibits actin polymerization. We created transgenic Drosophila lines expressing the catalytic subunit CDTa to...
