Virulence Factors of Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile Linked to Recurrent Infections by Laura Tijerina-Rodríguez, Licet Villarreal-Treviño, Rayo Morfín-Otero, Adrián Camacho-Ortíz, E. Garza-González

“…Additional factors have shown to regulate toxin production and virulence in C. difficile in RCDI, including the accessory-gene regulator agr, which acts as a positive switch for toxin transcription. Furthermore, adhesion and motility-associated factors, such as Cwp84, SlpA, and flagella, have shown to increase the adhesion efficiency to host epithelia, cell internalization, and the formation of biofilm. …”
