Functional characterization of Fur from the strict anaerobe Clostridioides difficile provides insight into its redox-driven regulatory capacity - PubMed
Clostridioides (formerly Clostridium) difficile is a leading cause of infectious diarrhea associated with antibiotic therapy. The ability of this anaerobic pathogen to acquire enough iron to proliferate under iron limitation conditions imposed by the host largely determines its pathogenicity. Howeve …
