Extracellular DNA filaments associated with surface polysaccharide II give Clostridioides difficile biofilm matrix a network-like structure

Abstract Clostridioides difficile is an anaerobic, spore-forming, Gram-positive bacterium, and a leading cause of healthcare-associated intestinal infections. Recurrences occur frequently, most of them being relapses. Apart from spores, C. difficile biofilm is hypothesized as a reservoir for relapse...
