Covalent attachment and Pro‐Pro endopeptidase (PPEP‐1)‐mediated release of Clostridium difficile cell surface proteins involved in adhesion

What is it about?

Bacterial cell surface proteins are pivotal for adhesion and colonization. In this review, we discuss the regulation of the attachment and release of two cell surface proteins from the human pathogen Clostridium difficile, with the emphasis on the involvement of a highly specific protease,
