Identification and characterisation of bacteriocins from environmental samples active against strains of Clostridium difficile.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Clostridiodes difficile is a cause of neonatal enteritis in livestock such as pigs, cattle and horses. Affected animals develop respiratory problems, abdominal distention and bloody diarrhoea leading to weight loss and in extreme cases mortality. Read more
