General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function strain 8864 which does not produce toxin A produces a modified toxin B. After treatment of fibroblasts with toxin B from strain 10463, which produces both toxin A and toxin B, cells become rounded and highly arborised, giving the characteristic actinomorphic appearance. With the toxin B from strain 8864, no arborisation of cells occurrs but there is rounding and significant detachment Clostridioides difficile
