Do you have a bacterium that is a sulphur-concentrating obligateanaerobe?
2
The spore-forming obligateanaerobe Clostridium difficile is a leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea around the world.
3
These complications arise in part because C. difficile makes metabolically dormant spores, which are the major infectious particle of this obligateanaerobe.
4
Sporulation allows bacteria to survive adverse conditions and is essential to the lifecycle of some obligateanaerobes.
5
Similar observations were made for the total viable cell counts and the proportions of obligateanaerobes with the exception of day 360.
