ZupT Facilitates Clostridioides difficile Resistance to Host-Mediated Nutritional Immunity

During infection, pathogenic organisms must acquire essential transition metals from the host environment. Through the process of nutritional immunity, the host employs numerous strategies to restrict these key nutrients from invading pathogens. In this study, we describe a mechanism by which the im...
