Mucosal Antibodies to the C Terminus of Toxin A Prevent Colonization of Clostridium difficile

Mucosal immunity is considered important for protection against Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). We show that in hamsters immunized with Bacillus subtilis spores expressing a carboxy-terminal segment (TcdA(26–39)) of C. difficile toxin A, no colonization occurs in protected animals when challe...
